Rob,
We have not had success getting MINGW to configure the generated files
(pubconf.h) and therefore can not test your issue in house. Please share any
suggestions on options to get this working. We have been able to get CMake to
build and test (fortran-disabled) the current code base.
I had the latest MINGW / MYSY from nigw.org which used gcc 4.6.1.
