Indeed there is. But while I could answer your question. I'm going to let someone more familiar with a MinGW install, on a Winboxen. It's been about 12yrs. since I've done that, and while I could get you through it. I'd not do you nearly the service that someone here with more recent experience could.

Best wishes.
