Okay another step forwards, thanks again Chris! Now I'm getting another error checking the C compiler:
configure:3135: i386-mingw32msvc-gcc --version >&5 ./configure: line 3137: i386-mingw32msvc-gcc: command not found which I would guess is telling me exactly what I need to know... I'm just not sure what I need to do about it :S I have gcc-mingw32 installed (via Ubuntu software centre) but I'm thinking there is something else/different I need. Any suggestions?
