How to build Go Executables for windows from Apple Silicon Mac

I have a new MacBook with an m1 chip.

I want to make an windows executable file from a main.go file. Internally it uses couple of external libraries. I am able to build executable for m1 processor using the command go build main.go.

But when I try to build windows executable using command env GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build main.go, it fails with build constraints exclude all Go files

/Users/dilipyadav/githome/my-project/cmd/isengard
dilipyadav@Dilips-MacBook-Pro-2 isengard % ls
main.go
dilipyadav@Dilips-MacBook-Pro-2 isengard % env GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build main.go
package command-line-arguments
    imports fyne.io/fyne/v2/app

I am following the build document from here

For the error build constraints exclude all Go files, I checked build constraints exclude all Go files in.

Any help is highly appreciated.

run this inside your project main folder (where main.go exists)

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o output_name.exe
