Many thanks for the replies, I found the guide to build for win32 I'll do it soon.
To Jiri thanks for the tip I tried to add geany.exe to the system path but this does not fix the issue in the current release, I'll try Colomban fix.
One more thing that I'll play with is that when you close a maximized window, the size stored in the preferences is the maximized one which is wrong. If I unmaxize the window the next time it still keeps the whole monitor size so you don't almost realize if the window is maximized or not. Furthermore a window closed on second monitors opens then anyway on the first. I have this working fine in an application of mine will try to port the code and submit a patch.
Cheers,
Giuseppe.

It's as straightforward as any cross-compiltaion -- so it's not really.
It's actually relatively easy, but as we have extra library
dependencies, the boring part is to collect the Windows libraries and
setup the various environment variables so the tools find them.
Apart that it's the standard mechanism for the build system you use,
e.g. for Autotools it'd be --host=i686-w64-mingw32 (or similar depending
on what host you actually want to build for).
There is some docs at http://www.geany.org/Support/CrossCompile -- it's
a bit outdated, but the basis are there.

Indeed, see http://www.geany.org/Support/BuildingOnWin32
This uses Windows makefiles, but you can also use Waf if you prefer.
The environment setup step is the same in both cases anyway.

Colomban
