mingw

[Henning, Brian]

Hello-
I am trying to compile grub right now and I am running into problems. I am
running w2k pro with mingw/msys. I tried to compile the package and here is
what happens.

Is it even possible to use grub with mingw? Maybe i am doing something
wrong? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian
