Problems compiling with MinGW on Windows

[Tom Wilson]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the physfs library using MinGW on Windows.  It's 
proving to be really difficult though.

Isn't it just possible to have a *normal* Makefile that everyone can 
tweak??  I think i'm probably going to have to just write one myself.


This is as far as I have got using the shell that comes with MinGW and 
trying the configure script:

**************************************************

sh-2.04$ ./configure
checking build system type... c:\Program 
Files\Unix\usr\local\wbin\rmdir.exe: 
C:/DOCUME~1/Tom/LOCALS~1/Temp/config-guess-1620: Directory not empty
./config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2002-10-21, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

     ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/

If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches at gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2002-10-21

uname -m = x86
uname -r = 0
uname -s = WindowsNT
uname -v = 5

/usr/bin/uname -p = unknown
/bin/uname -X     =

hostinfo               =
/bin/universe          =
/usr/bin/arch -k       =
/bin/arch              =
/usr/bin/oslevel       =
/usr/convex/getsysinfo =

UNAME_MACHINE = x86
UNAME_RELEASE = 0
UNAME_SYSTEM  = WindowsNT
UNAME_VERSION = 5
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
c:\Program Files\Unix\usr\local\wbin\sed.exe: -e expression #1, char 1: 
Unknown command: ``C''

Thanks for any help
