Just a side note, if we are at the subject. One can download the full package of "MinGW Developer Studio" (http://www.parinya.ca) It comes complete with a compiled tool chain. The Installer runs flawlessly under wine. And so is the Dev-Studio and the compiler. (1:0) for wine. The only thing that does not work is MinGW-gdb. One day I intend to check this code out and fix this area on wine.

Hello!
Here are the steps needed to setup a MinGW on a Red Hat Linux like rpm based system (Fedora Core, Mandrake Linux, ... should probably work even on a SuSE Linux)
- Download the mingw-binutils and mingw-gcc srpm's from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/
- Download the mingw-3.0-1.src.rpm srpm from http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/libc6/noarch/SRPMS/
- Build the mingw and mingw-binutils rpm's (rpmbuild --rebuild $SRPM) and install them.
- After the above step you can build the mingw-gcc rpm too. Install it.
- That's almost everything: you need this patch for wine's configure to make it find your mingw binaries.
- For instructions how to build the Wine tests for Windows see the Wine Documentation.
You may want to try your local Red Hat mirror for the above srpm's.

Hope this helps bye michael
