[OT] Problem with Mingw

I have a problem to compile SDL with mingw under windows (W2K and W98 do the
same)

when I try to compile, here is the result:

sh-2.02$ ./configure
sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

but the file is here…
I just unzipped the .zip and run the .bat

anybody had this problem ?

I think I know this kind of problem. Where did you unzip the file to?
./configure (and all other sh scripts) needs /bin/sh to run and ‘/’ under mingw
is mapped to ‘C:’, so you need at least C:\bin\sh.exe. If you use the .zip file
from www.libsdl.org/Xming32 this is installed automagically, if you unzip the
file to ‘C:’.
It may also work, if you manually copy sh.exe to C:\bin, and leave the rest
somewhere else (I wanted it somewhere on ‘D:’, but was in a hurry so I placed
it on ‘C:’ which is already quite full). I also expect problems, if you install
mingw in some subdirectory. The init script mingw32.sh seems not to handle this
situation correctly, but this can easily be changed.
