If you plan using MinGW only for VirtualBox, then there are folders that can be used.
Go to the root VirtualBox directory, then go to "tools/win.x86". Here you create the following directory structure, in addition of the already existing directories. win.x86 -mingw32 --v3.3.3 ---(all the files of MinGW except the Win32 API stuff) -w32api --v2.5 ---(The win32 API stuff) Then you run again the configure.vbs script and it should detect MinGW without any supplemental configuration. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Doug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 12:58 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [vbox-dev] Help building VBox on WinXP - understanding toolchain > Hi, > > I've read the information about building vbox on windows here: > http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Windows%20build%20instructions > > I have no trouble installing all the native Win32 tools (VS2005, SDK, > DDK, SDL, DXSDK), but the MinGW tools are all just a bunch of files in > tar archives. > > Where do I install all the MinGW files?
