I am using - cmake + pkg-config + mingw32 + vala + gtk+ win32 pre-built binaries + eclipse + cdt as development environment - cmake + nsis for packaging
All these tasks are done in Ubuntu. - cmake can be installed with apt-get (powerful make file generator). - mingw32 cross toolchain and nsis can be installed with apt-get (to generate binaries and packages for win32). - gtk+ win32 pre-built binaries can download from here<http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php> . - libgee for win32 can download from here<http://code.google.com/p/vala-win32/downloads/detail?name=libgee-0.6.1.zip&can=2&q=> . - vala is from vala ppa <https://launchpad.net/%7Evala-team/+archive/ppa> After you downloaded gtk+ win32 pre-built binaries, you have to fix pathes in .pc (mainly prefix, to the root where you put all these win32 binaries) and .la (mainly libdir, prepend with the root), or pkg-config will report wrong information.
