I don't think you can use the compilers provided by win-builds directly under cygwin. As you've already seen, they expect windows-style paths while cygwin will hand them posix-style ones. I haven't checked yet but you should be able to use the cross-compilers provided by cygwin as "mingw64-i686-gcc(-g++)" or with "x86_64 instead of "i686". This means you wouldn't prepend $wb/bin to your PATH and probably not put $wb/local/bin either. The restriction is that the compilers from win-builds and from cygwin must have compatible configurations, especially for C++. This mostly means sjlj exception on 32b and SEH ones on 64b; which are the default settings. Your current pkg-config and libdir settings seem good. To sum up, you need the cygwin compiler (installed and default value for PATH) and the win-builds binaries (set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR and --libdir). > ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=$wb/local --libexecdir=$wb/sbin > --libdir=$wb/lib --includedir=$wb/include You probably don't need to set all these paths (in particular libexecdir); configure should set most of them properly by itself. Start with only --host, --prefix and --libdir. Add --includedir if some includes are not found while they're in this directory. > I am not sure if the "--host=i686-w64-mingw32" is valide for the win-builds > distribution.

I guess it tries to use the win-builds-provided GCC but fails to do so because of paths and fallbacks to the cygwin one. > I am attaching the full output the configure script as a file. If you continue to have issues, could you send me the config.log file? Don't send it on the mailing-list since it is usually a fairly big file which makes up for a fair amount of data when multiplied by the number of list subscribers.
