OK Jon.

Where can I learn how to compile using my makefile, and mingw?

I know how to do it from the terminal in Linux. I don't know how to do  
it on Windows, unless it's from something like msys which acts as a  
Linux terminal.

True. But I've seen people say that they get the same error even on a  
plain XP install.

When I got the new laptop, the first thing I did was to update windows
using windows update, and the very next thing was to install Msys. Well,
the installer reported EXACTLY the same problem (after indicating that
Msys was successfully installed, a command prompt was opened
automatically, executing some commands. One of them reported the message
I included above). The only option was to press any key to continue. "
