I thought there were some binaries at 
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 (that included 
"vista" as part of the filename) that addressed this issue. But I don't see 
them. (Have they gone ? ... or were they never there ?)

Try:
1) Add C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5 to your path.
2) Set the CPATH environment variable to C:\MinGW\include
3) Set the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to :
    C:\MinGW\lib;C:\MinGW\mingw32\lib;C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5

The same approach worked for me wrt the 64 bit build of version 4.4.0 (where 
I faced similar issues on Vista).

If you still get executables/headers/libraries not found, then it may just 
be a matter of adding another directory to your path/cpath/library_path 
environment variable.

For example, I had to add the equivalent of MinGW\mingw32\include to my 
CPATH with 4.4.0 - but the comparable directory doesn't exist for me with 
3.4.5.

I haven't tried the above hack with 3.4.5 at all.

Cheers,
Rob
