Not remembering precisely how cross-compiler installations are layed out in the file system, but could a possible alternative be to have symbollic links such as: ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc.exe And all the rest that you normally have, and when GCC/G++ or whatever binutil sees this, it implicitly adds the -mno-cygwin switch? That would take care of the configure --target=mingw32 stuff for you without needing to install a whole other set of binaries and toolchains. There's probably a whole lot of cons with this that I'm not aware of (not having used cross-compilers a great deal) but thought I'd offer it as a suggestion. E.
