Hi

You can do a fresh install of openSUSE and run the included procedure to
install the needed MingW environment and most of the needed dependencies.
mingw-configure and mingw-make will be installed in that process.

The way it is used is calling
  mingw32-configure    instead of    ./configure
  mingw32-make          instead of    make
the same for mingw64.

Stay safe

.
