SDL 1.2.5 on MinGW

SDL Development
1

I can’t seem to get SDL 1.2.5 to compile on MinGW. I installed MSYS and
then installed MinGW to /mingw in the MSYS tree. However, when I try to
run ‘make’ on the SDL source, I get some errors:

at this line:
lib /OUT:.libs/libarch.al dummy.lo

I get this error:
LIB : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file
"C:\msys\1.0\OUT;.libs\libarch.al"
make[2]: *** [libarch.la] Error 157
make[2]: Leaving directory /c/Documents and Settings/calvin/My Documents/SDL-1.2.5/src/main' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory/c/Documents and Settings/calvin/My

Are there any extra steps I might be missing?
