RE: Building on MinGW using MXE-built dependencies [WAS: Re: mxe-installer try 2]

[John D]

Ok - I will see how latest works for me as well.

I have a patch for freetdl I will apply if it is still relevant - If so, I
will push that.

So far the things not working for me right now for a native mingw build
(that I know of):
Qrupdate tar issues???
Postgresql - wont compile - issues mainly with not finding zlib and and
others - I will try againt later as I have a feeling it is something obvious
I am missing.
Qt - I haven't tried for a while though, so will retry
Octave

I checked in some new changes and am doing a fresh build on mingw native now
but it is not to qrupdate yet.  I'll let you know if I see problems. 
  My builds with mingw cross and debian native worked OK.  I'm at this
