Welcome to mingw port world! However, if you are willing to contribute to OOo community by writing some application fragment, mingw is not a good platform. If you are planning to do so on MS Windows, Microsoft Visual C++ is the standard tool. You can also use free Express version and you can find building instruction on Wiki pages. I think the efforts by Volker on codeline 625 was abandoned and maybe the web page is obsolete. I am taking over the task on SRC680 and DEV300. Please note that mingw may not substitute MS Visual C++ even if the port is completed. I am doing the port for checking code portability in windows native modules and for fearing Microsoft may discontinue providing free compiler in the future. My effort on SRC680 is almost completed but I stopped it because we have switched to DEV300. My effort on DEV300 is also leaving a few build breakers. You can find my draft build instructions here. It is for SRC680. http://www.hkfreak.net/build_windows_mingw_tcsh.htm Some required SDKs are too old and maybe you cannot get them. I have not made instruction document for DEV300 as there is no documents for other platforms. You can find changed requirements for DEV300 in my following issue. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88772 If you dare try build on mingw, the documents may be of some help.
