Some time ago, I also built Hatari (from the Mercurial repo and rather
painlessly) under Windows using MinGW. In order for the SDL2 build not
to crash after startup, I had to make sure that the preprocessor macro
SDL_MAIN_HANDLED was defined during compilation. I did this via a change
to CMakeLists.txt:

 if(SDL2_FOUND)
        add_definitions(-DWITH_SDL2)
+       add_definitions(-DSDL_MAIN_HANDLED=1)

I never really investigated what happened; so I didn't report it,
either. I think the basic idea behind SDL_MAIN_HANDLED is explained
here: <http://djrollins.com/2016/10/02/sdl-on-windows/>. But since I do
not know much about SDL, I cannot say what goes wrong with Hatari when
the macro is not defined.

Christian
