What do you mean with `mingw32-make'?  Are you actually using the
mingw build system?  Then simply say `./configure' within an msys
terminal, followed by `make'.  IIRC, this works out of the box.

A bug.  Don't use the `dll' target (I've just removed it in the git
repository).  Note that there are high chances that the non-configure
setup is broken since I don't use Windows by default for testing.

Well, the DLL should be built automatically.  Please show us *exactly*
what you do from a clean directory, and please send us log data.
