I really don't know what you mean. Just make sure you have the latest mingw64 packages installed, create a separate build dir, for instanmce parallel to the setup source dir, and call configure make: cd <checked out setup sources dir> cd .. mkdir build cd build ../configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --target=i686-w64-mingw32 make And that's it. I tested to build setup HEAD from scratch for 32 and 64 bit, and both versions worked fine.
