Problem building GnuPG 2.0.9 for Windows

[Bill Foster]

Hello,

I am trying to build GnuPG 2.0.9 for Win32 (Windows XP).
I am using the Debian testing (Lenny) platform, with the MinGW 
cross-compiler.
I've installed the required libraries in their proper order:

libgpg-error-1.6
libgcrypt-1.4.3
libksba-1.0.4
w32pth-2.0.1
libassuan-1.0.5

And I've installed zlib-1.2.3, with the libz.a library file in the 
~/w32root/lib directory.
When trying to build GnuPG 2.0.9, I run './configure --build-w32'.
Then I run 'make'.
'make' ends with these lines:

Making all in g10

I have tried learning how to build the zlib.dll file, and then using the 
'nm' command to create a zlib.def file, and then using the 'dlltool' command
to "custom build" an import library (zlib.a). But I still get the same 
error messages as above when I run 'make'.

I've reached the end of my rope.
Does anyone have any advice they can offer me ?
Please know it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you,
 Bill Foster
