I've installed the Debian mingw32 package, but can't figure out how to build

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mingw32msvc/3.2/specs
Configured with: 
/home/ron/devel/debian/mingw32/mingw32-3.2/build_dir/src/gcc-3.2-20020817-1/configure
 -v --prefix=/usr --target=i586-mingw32msvc --enable-languages=c,c++ 
--enable-threads --disable-multilib --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs
Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.2 (mingw special 20020817-1)

So that's alright. But how do I go about getting a configure script to use 
these binaries instead of the native ones? I've tried just about every 
combination of --host, --target, and --build that I can think of, and I've read 
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/README.txt , and that hasn't seemed to 
help me either. Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Based on the directory configuration that you give above you should be able to just do `./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc' but that may be dependent on the version of autoconf that configure was built with. I would tend to do `./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i586-mingw32msvc --build=`./config.guess`' to remove any doubt about what the default is.

Earnie.
