Unfortunately, there was so much trial-and-error that I barely remember 
any details. Libraries and executables were installed to
  /usr/i686-w64-mingw32
(I am aware about the paradoxical naming scheme. Please don't ask why 
the packages chose this directory, I really don't know, and after days 
and days of experimentation, didn't care anymore.) Subdirectories:
  /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/bin
  /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include
  /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/lib
  /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/share
Then there is a softlink
  /usr/local/i686-w64-mingw32 -> /usr/i686-w64-mingw32
Also, while most /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/* are inhabited as expected, 
/usr/i686-w64-ming32/include holds mostly (but not only) softlinks to 
files in
  /usr/share/mingw-w64/include
(Yes, mingw-w64, not mingw32-w64.)
/usr/share/mingw-w64 itself only holds this subdirectory, include.

(There also is
  /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32
but this seems to be an unused remnant of experimentation and/or 
installation.)

I found most necessary packages here:
  https://mxe.cc/#packages

All in all ... I guess you understand why I did not document this and 
why I do not recommend my setup.

Andreas
