InstallingMingwOnWin32

Terry Stickel was able to build ming on mingw. XP Pro, service pack 2.

The build chain is:

  1. mingw
  2. msys
  3. msysDTK
  4. wget
  5. libiconv
  6. autoconf
  7. automake
  8. zlib

These are the mingwPORT versions.

The next three I had to compile from source:

  1. libtool
  2. freetype
  3. libming

To get libming to compile I had to hand edit src/Makefile. I commented out a short routine that needed the .so version of the lib so it could build the php module. The makefile target was called 'all-local'. PHP was disabled according to configure. It never made libming.so. Don't know why the Makefile didn't get created correctly, I'm looking at the autoconf stuff now.

This looks coherent and sensible for setting up Mingw:

Note the m4 version in it is "known good", whereas the included one is too old for some things to use (i.e. building autoconf), and the latest GNU source of m4 (1.4.11) seems to compile and install fine, but is actually broken and causes problems when compiling other things.

Another link, potentially better developed, is here:

Seems to be much more recently maintained.
