Hi there, I am having problems compiling Dosbox 0.74 on Windows

I remember that compiling on linux is very easy, and gives great results on the part of performance, so I am trying the same on windows

I followed the wiki at first, but it didn’t compile, after a little search I found that the wiki have information that is misleading or incomplete. After searching for info on the web and reinstalling MinGW + stuff a lot, and reading a lot of information on how to install MSYS + SDL Correctly, I think I managed to almost compile it

Downloaded SDL, ./configure && Make && Make install, it compiles just fine

Downloaded SDL_Net, ./configure && Make && Make Install, compiles just fine

Even have ddraw.h as an include in MinGW, so I can have Directdraw support, if I am not mistaken (It shows correctly on ./configure)

But when I try to compile Dosbox, running ./configure && Make, see the image

(CONFIG.LOG attached in the message)

Using the latest versions of Dosbox, MinGW, MSYS and SDL as of 10 / 02 / 2012

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, keep in mind that I am just an enthusiast trying to achieve better performance, does anybody knows what’s wrong? Thanks for the attention.

WOW, I've used the SVN version 3778 and it worked on the first try! Thank you! That was the most useful two-word answer I've ever seen.
