Trying to compile libgcrypt 1.5.0 with MinGW32 on Windows 7

I have attempted compiling libgcrypt 1.5.0 with MinGW32 on Windows 7 to no avail. I have already installed the GCC C/C++ compiler and binutils as part of MinGW32, but when I enter autogen.sh --build-w32 it tells me that there is no cross compiler kit installed...?

Despite searching around for answers, I still do not have a clue as to what is going on. How on earth do you compile libgcrypt with MinGW32? And why is it so stupidly difficult? Most standard libs usually provide a Visual Studio project, but the only Visual Studio project I can find for libgcrypt is extremely dated (1.2.2).

The --build-w32 switch is for compiling for Windows on Linux. The readme doesn't mention compiling for Windows on Windows.

I would say try autogen.sh with no arguments and hope it works.

If that doesn't work, install Linux I guess. :/
