Comment (by bvanevery):

 You may run into the following problem with MinGW on Vista.  If you get
 a screenful of errors including a line:

 gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or
 directory

 it's not anything you did.  MinGW's gcc 3.4.5 is fundamentally
 broken under Vista.  I've been chasing around the mailing list
 archives and it looks like it won't be officially fixed until MinGW
 ships gcc 4.2.0.  Unofficially, you can get a patched set of driver
 files.

 YMMV as to how well they work.  They solved my problems.
