I feinted. I created /home/keith/staged/mingw32/lib/ and make a link to 
libiconv.la.
I had just a warning from libtool (...libiconv.la seems to be moved)


But the compilation didn't terminate correctly.

I had a rand_s implicit declaration problem.
I change rand_s with srand in grand.c (I think that is very very bad, so 
if someone can give me the right solution…).

The problem was bypassed.

But …
Again a error about Python.
/bin/env didn't find python2.5.

I feinted. I edited the correspondant Makefile and I changed python2.5 
by /c/Python27/python.exe (which is the installed version for me).

The compilation terminated :)

But I can't make install ^^ (again errors about python).

I will try to install python 2.5 from msys to mingw to test.


To resumate, these are points where I need help :
- Why the make command ask me for a libiconv in a /home/keith/… 
directory ?
- What is the explanation of the rand_s error ?
- What is the explanation of python2.5 error ? I never say to minsys, 
mingw, or glib that I already or not installed python.

I really want to help to make glib easy to compile on Windows.

Even if I hate to work on a Windows for many reasons.


Again, thank you for help !
