I have instaled MinGW and MSYS on my Windows 7. Then installed mercurial and
cloned

http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave

Then, after running MSYS and following this sequence:
 autoconf
./configure --enable-native-build --enable-system-gcc make

I had errors building it, few of them where solved only by adding required
header files to MSYS/1.0/include folder. But here is the problem I can't
solve, or better to say can't figure out where the problem is ( attachment).

--------------------
You shouldn't need to 'add' any addition headers to that folder - the wrong
ones potentially could mess everything up.

On my system, after doing a new install of mingw and msys, I run:
mingw-get update
mingw-get upgrade
mingw-get install autoconf bash msys-flex gcc gcc-c++ gcc-fortran gettext
msys-m4 msys-make msys-sed  libiconv msys-openssl msys-patch msys-perl
msys-libarchive msys-unzip msys-wget bsdcpio

Then in the mxe-octave repo: I generally configure with the options:
'./configure --enable-system-gcc --enable-native-build
--disable-system-fontconfig'

After running configure, from the mxe-octave directory I then run:
'source tools/set_mxe_env.sh'

And then 'make' to then build everything.
