Hi Patrick, Native Windows executables are generated using a mingw-w64 toolchain (package group mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain for the x86_64 versions). Documentation of this project is then a must-read http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/documentation. Also, checkout their projects using mingw-w64 list to get inspiration (at the bottom of homepage http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/start). Start mingw64_shell.bat that will setup environment correctly for native Windows build.
Reading winapi/win32 is probably a good read, but I would take it as a reference when you need to accomplish specifics tasks related to Windows interfacing. Finally, the Msys2 wiki is also good place to look for http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/Home/ where you can get information about the project in general. Good luck.
