cross-compiling for mingw32 is failing

I'm trying to compile it for windows but getting this error

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue. It looks like the makefile for mingw32 is rather out-of-date. In particular, it's not including -DVERSION as a compiler argument, hence the error. I've updated Makefile.mingw32 to work more like the makefile for Linux, which is known to work well. Unfortunately, I do not have a Windows machine to test it on. Do you think you could try recompiling with the change to the makefile and let me know if it works? I've put the changes in the issue-21 branch.

I pulled the new changes that you made on makefile.mingw32 for 'issue-21' branch and compiled again, it worked perfectly
FYI: I'm using raspberry pi zero w for cross compilation

Good to hear. I will merge in the change when I get home later.
