While working on #757 I tried to build kiwix-desktop under Windows in release mode (kiwix-build --make-release ...) and ran against the problem with the libcurl dependency - its installation step fails because of a missing strip utility under Windows:

(venv) C:\Kiwix\builddir.release>kiwix-build --config native_static --make-release --skip-source-prepare --build-nodeps libcurl
... 
[0/1] "C:\Kiwix\venv\Scripts\meson" "install" "--no-rebuild"

Stopping build due to errors

This issue will likely prevent releasing kiwix-desktop v2.4

@veloman-yunkan We had already a fix on Kiwix Desktop side kiwix/kiwix-desktop#1059... so it seems this was not enough!
