Heh, compiling libraries on Windows. 

Although I don't have an answer to your question, I do know that I've only ever 
had trouble trying to compile anything other than my own source files on 
Windows.

This is especially frustrating when I just want to compile a library as static 
rather than dynamic (to get rid of Yet Another DLL File), and end up with 
scores of linker errors...

The only library I've ever managed to compile properly on Windows is zlib...

It probably has to do with the fact that Visual Studio is the defacto standard 
on Windows, and because Mingw is so fscking complicated to set up (surprise! 
The make bundled with it is obsolete!)

I wish there was an easy way to get a proper GCC installation working without 
having to make sacrifices to the Technoromicon and Bithulhu...

How do you compile SDL_mixer on Windows? I was trying using MinGW and 
Msys, and it is infuriatingly frustrating. One problem after another. Is 
MinGW even the right tool for this job?
