Quoted from the MinGW site: "A Minimal SYStem to provide POSIX/Bourne configure scripts the ability
to execute and create a Makefile used by make".

That problem may be solved... see post on openev list.

I use the gtk stuff I got from: http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

I think I succeeded in doing that. Got the .def's and the headers from the openev cvs web. And
managed to link against the dlls included with OpenEV_FW 1.63. I still don't have a working OpenEv
but I will get there, you can bet on that :)

Thanks for your help.
