Cross compiling mingw.

mingw on Windows

Msys shell typically runs:

   sh.exe --login -i

You can make OpenSSL with:

   $ ./config no-threads --prefix=... --openssldir='C:/mingw/msys/1.0/...'

mingw on MacOS

You can install through MacPorts, but you only get the v3 compiler:

   sudo port install i386-mingw32-binutils i386-mingw32-gcc i386-mingw32-libunicows i386-mingw32-runtime i386-mingw32-w32api

mingw on Ubuntu

I got going with:

  apt-get install mingw32

That gave me the 4.2.1 compiler.

I could then compile with the following maker file:

mingw on fedora
