August and I have been struggling with lots of win32/mingw updates over the past week or two. zlib is in there, I think August got pkg- config going. glib needs iconv and gettext. iconv is in there, but I haven't gotten gettext to go yet.
August and I are sick of win32 builds, so we are trying to organize a "mingw build day" where we can all suffer together. Want to join in sometime in the next week? :D In order to keep this maintainable, everything that is not directly included in MinGW needs to be checked into the 'sources' section of SVN and built from source using the 'sources/build-libs-on-mingw.sh' script. That's what I've been doing for years. Of course if someone thinks they can do it better than me, they are welcome to take it over.
As for flite, I'd like to get it going on Mac OS X and Windows. I am up for working on that if you are. We could start with Mac OS X since that should be a lot easier.

moin Hans, moin all,
So most of my packaged externals are (or ought to be) building on win32 now. Missing are [flite] and [gfsm]. I don't know whether libflite builds under mingw, so i'm ignoring that for now. I think [gfsm] ought to build though, since i've successfully built the underlying libgfsm with mingw in the past.
From what configure is leaving in the logs though, there appear to be some packages missing on the build farm machine:
- libglib-2.x
- abstract data structures & algorithms without which gfsm wouldn't
be
- apparently available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.20/glib_2.20.1-1_win32.... (bin) and http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.20/glib-dev_2.20.1-1_wi... (dev)
- pkg-config
- required; I know it's stupid, but I use this to find libglib-2.x
- There would appear to be a win32 binary available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2...
- zlib
- optional, but highly recommended
- available at: http://www.zlib.net/zlib123-dll.zip
- also allegedly included in the "msys supplementary tools" package

... any chance of getting these installed?
