Hello,

there's no real guide, as it works quite easily.

Under linux, run "./configure --cross-compile-win32" then "make".

You will need to install mingw and the mingw version of sdl, unzip, ... 
(use the ones provided by your linux distribution, no need to compile 
these yourself)

You might need to edit "Toolchain-mingw32.cmake" if it doesn't find your 
libraries.

(I can't say if it works when compiling directly under Windows, as I 
don't use Windows)

I think this is a more general SDL issue, maybe some missing video 
options when you compiled it ?
You should look in SDL forum, I don't think your error message is 
related to Hatari.
