Hi Chris,
It toke several hours :( to download and compile, but really it seems the
best and easiest way to install Mingw on Linux.
The problem of merging sources from different paths seems to be fixed. Now,
everything is token from the Mingw cross-compiling environment.
On the other hand, SWFTools does not yet compile and a similar error is
raised:
i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Ilame -Ilib/lame -fPIC -Wimplicit
-Wreturn-type -Wno-write-strings -Wformat -O -fomit-frame-pointer
