It sounds like you have cross-built and installed all the dependencies
okay. Just a few problems with the Windows/installers target which
I wrote.

is just an exercise in frustration because
cp `$(CC) -print-file-name=libwinpthread-1.dll` $@
just prints libwinpthread-1.dll even though I do have that dll in
/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libwinpthread-1.dll
This sounds like Fedora trying to be too clever for its own good -
a similar general problem to what Harry was struggling with.
and because
cp $(environment_dir)/bin/*.dll $@
is busted because it expands to
cp $(echo -fstack-protector -lssp | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/^-L//' -e
's|/lib$||')/bin/*.dll Windows/nsis-bin
which obviously isn't helpful.
Yes, I had a nasty feeling that this LDFLAGS/sed based expression might
pose some portability problems.
It's very frustrating that there are so many Windows users but no
Windows developers.
That's just life I'm afraid. Everybody wants something, but very few are
prepared to do any work in order to get it.
