The MinGW was in the "Mozilla Build 1.14" package that I needed to build Spidermonkey. The package also included Perl v 5.6.1, so when I tried to run Makefile.pl in MinGW, it would say that I needed v5.8. I figured this wasn't a big deal though b/c I wanted to install Javascript.pm into the strawberry folder anyway. I guess that little note was irrelevant.

perl -v in MinGW returns 5.6.1
perl -v in the windows command line says 5.10.0

Looking at makefile.pl, it creates a JavaScript_Env.h file. It also creates a test_js.c file which is supposed to do a small compile to see if libs and headers can be located. It then outputs a gcc command to the command line. I think the gcc command is causing a problem. Here is what the gcc command I'm sending looks like: 

gcc -LC:\strawberry\js\src\WINNT5.1_OPT.OBJ -ljs32 -o C:\DOCUME~1\Stev
+e\LOCALS~1\Temp\b4to8dFiQI -IC:\strawberry\js\src test_js.c

dunno if that helps.
