[Mingw-cross-env-list] Some background/help asked ...

[Jos De Laender]

I'm trying to setup mxe for a number of projects of mine and sometimes 
I'm really confused about what I see.

An example :

I download the stable branch.

make qt
make graphicsmagick
make imagemagick

Apparently goes fine.
Then I realize that something went wrong with imagemagick in the sense 
that lcms and lcms2 are mixed up.

Somewhere on the web one can find the solution : patch libmng.mk file 
such that mng doesn't use "full cms" or something along those lines.
So I patch that libmng.mk.

Then
make imagemagick => nothing  happens even though I understood libmng is 
a dependency (and it built it in the first place).

So I go back one step
make libmng => fails because it accesses my (changed) /usr/lib/jpeglib.h 
(so not the one of mxe, the one of my host !)

The 2 last steps (failing to rebuild, but especially the looking outside 
of the mxe tree) concern me ....
Can someone shed some light why this is happening, what is maybe wrong, 
how I should debug or produce more info ?

Somehow I'm a bit worried now of having a "good" cross environment.
