We really have different perception of "harder"! Anything involving running
windows and clicking is harder for me. So let me spread the world like you:
"cross-compilation is easier!" :-)

I know at least on Fedora, a yum install mingw* for your deps is all you
need:  run mingw32-configure instead of configure. (same for cmake or
qmake, and 64 bits) and make. This gives you a very reliable build
environment, much more than any personal tweaked mingw installation. But
that's cross-compilation, you know what I know better :)
