I am sorry to tell you that the second way does not work for me. The error message is attached (mingw.log). So i switched back to the Redhat version and did cd /usr/local ; ln -s /usr/mingw i386-mingw32 and in /usr/bin i need the links ln -s mingw-ar i386-mingw32-ar ln -s mingw-ranlib i386-mingw32-ranlib
Strange, I don't need those links. Is it only *-ar and *-ranlib or all of them?
Therefore i think the binutils package must be installed before building the gcc package.
Just checked that and yes, you're right. I've changed the web page and spec file accordingly.
Than i removed the Redhat packages and installed your runtime and my binutils and gcc package and stat'rted building mingw-3.2. This fails with a linker error (attached: user.log).
It's the circular dependency again: you need to have MinGW installed in order to build it. I thought it was only the mingw-runtime package but it appears you need to have mingw-w32api installed as well. I've updated the web page to reflect this. This is a problem with the upstream sources by the way. Maybe we can solve this by splitting them up and reordering them a bit, don't know, but I will look into this.
I will try to build mingw-3.2 in the evening.
Keep me posted.
