Go to "Build -> Configure Project..." in the menu. Select one of the 
configurations as sacrifice for Windows :D (I used Optimized).

In "Configure Options:", add "'PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=' 
'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/kyoushuu/Devel/MinGW/lib/pkgconfig:/home/kyoushuu/Devel/MinGW/share/pkgconfig' 
--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-w64-mingw32". Set appropriate 
values for PKG_CONFIG_PATH, --build and --host. Make sure to add the 
environment variables to "Configure Options" instead of "Environment 
Variables"; otherwise your other configurations will be affected and 
they will be all compile for Windows, "Environment Variables" are global.

In my computer, I use a 64-bit Ubuntu so --build is x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, 
should be i686-pc-linux-gnu if you're using 32-bit.

I use 32-bit MinGW-w64 cross-compilers (from package mingw-w64 in 
Ubuntu), so --host is i686-w64-mingw32 (x86_64-w64-mingw32 if 64-bit; it 
depends on your cross-compiler).

I set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR as empty to prevent Linux include and lib 
directories to be used in cross-compilation.

My MinGW binaries (from OpenSUSE Build Service: 
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin32 
; I compiled some packages in my own copy like libgee) are installed in 
/home/kyoushuu/Devel/MinGW; PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR should be something like 
"$prefix/lib/pkgconfig:$prefix/share/pkgconfig", so it is set to 
"/home/kyoushuu/Devel/MinGW/lib/pkgconfig:/home/kyoushuu/Devel/MinGW/share/pkgconfig". 
Make sure that *.pc files in lib/pkgconfig and share/pkgconfig have the 
prefix variables set properly; for example:

================================================================================
prefix=/home/kyoushuu/Devel/MinGW
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
targets=win32

gtk_binary_version=3.0.0
gtk_host=i686-w64-mingw32

Name: GTK+
Description: GTK+ Graphical UI Library
Version: 3.6.1
Requires: gdk-3.0 atk cairo cairo-gobject gdk-pixbuf-2.0 gio-2.0
Requires.private: atk
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtk-3
Cflags: -I${includedir}/gtk-3.0 -mms-bitfields
================================================================================

These values are "fixed" by Windows, but in Linux they should be set 
properly.

Then click "Execute" button in the dialog. Then "Build -> Build Project" 
in the menu.

You need Wine to run Windows binaries. Add $prefix/bin to the PATH 
environment variable of Wine, for example my PATH environment variable 
is 
"C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32\wbem;Z:\home\kyoushuu\Devel\MinGW\bin". 
Use regedit (type wine regedit in terminal) to change the value; 
environment variables are in 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment".

Then go to "Run -> Program Parameters...". Set "Program" to the path of 
the compiled exe file (something like 
$projectdir/$configure_name/src/program.exe"). Click "Apply" button. 
Then "Run -> Execute" in menu.

I only included steps for Windows, because I don't have a Mac (even the 
cross-compilers).
