Hello! I'm trying to compile Lzip using MSYS with MinGW 4.8.1. I followed the instructions carefully but I can't really compile it. I always get an error. What should I do?

========================
I used Windows 7 64-bit in compiling Lzip. I also tried compiling it on my VM which is WIndows XP (32-bit). Both attempts failed.
I'll be waiting for your reply. Thanks!
