Building 1.0.8 on windows with MingW

[Jon Wilson]

I am attempting to build commoncpp2-1.0.8 on windows 2000 using gcc 3.2 
(mingw 20020817-1), however,  install.bat seems to be aimed at vc++ 
users and "make -f Makefile.gcc" gives:

i586-mingw32msvc-c++ -c -I. -I../include 
-I/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/libxml
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE -include ../win32/cc++/config.h -g -O2 
-mthreads -
o ../win32/../win32/thread.o ../src/thread.cpp
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), i586-mingw32msvc-c++ -c -I. 
-I../include -I
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/libxml -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_GNU_SOURCE 
-include ../w
in32/cc++/config.h -g -O2 -mthreads -o ../win32/../win32/thread.o 
../src/thread.
cpp, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: *** [../win32/thread.o] Error 2

Am I doing something wrong? I read that some people managed to get 1.9.3 
working with patches in the mail archives, but I have not found anywhere 
to download that version?

Hope you can help.
Thanks.
