Thanks Achim. I fixed the ld_library_path.
I was wondering about the tip you gave me on devel packages not being split from runtime in mingw. Now I know for sure. I since added the bin directory to path for the mingw files for the x64 directory. Very cool. I have to crash now. I will work on this later today. Have a good night.

Your output doesn't seem to contain any notion of the configury checking the cross toolchain. > I installed the gmp package for mingw64.

Whatever devel package you found there is most likely for Cygwin, but it's hard to know without the package name. The mingw64-* packages are all standalone devel packages, only the Cygwin packages are split into runtime and devel. > I have the file libgmp.dll.a in c:/cygwin/lib That's not the link library for MingW, but for Cygwin. > Please let me know if there is anything i can do to get past this error. Maybe you look at some of the cross-compiled stuff in Cygwin and take it from there?
