Ohhh, I missed the part about Cairo not working for cross-compilation yet. My bad.

The instructions above didn't install the compiler? OK, I would have
expected them to do so ...

It's the way we do the official releases, and in fact the _only_ way to
create Windows binaries. To do that, you need to cd into
release/binaries/ and read README.md. But the whole problem that brought
you here in the first place was that this cross-compilation system does
not support Cairo yet. So either you are ready to figure out how to
cross-compile Cairo for MinGW and link it with LilyPond, and preferably
you contribute this to LilyPond (see partial work in
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/913, it had some
problems with missing libraries), or you stick with running these Linux
binaries. in your Linux VM.
