Hi,
thanks for the heads up. In fact, the mingw installer downloaded and 
installed w32api and binutils for me once I asked for the g++ compiler
in the installer selection list, so I ended up installing only mingw
and msys.

Now, configure goes fine, make breaks during linking with the following
error message:

libtool: link: rm -fr  .libs/libgdal.la.lnkscript

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libgdal.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/progetti/gdal/gdalMing'
make: *** [check-lib] Error 2

The funny thing is that I checked, and that EnvisatFile.o is there
were it's looking for it.

At first I suspected env variables, so I cleaned up PATH and
LIB so that the first was minimal and the second was empty.
Then I suspected binutils, and noticed that binutils was not
the one you suggested to install, so I downloaded the tar.gz and 
overwritten the one installed along with MinGW.
Both attempt failed, the error is still the same. Any ideas about
what I did wrong?

Oh, btw, I'm building trunk, not 1.4.x.

Cheers
Andrea
