MinGW is how Converge produces native Windows binaries. You will almost
certainly need to install extra MinGW packages to get everthying up and
running.

The easiest way to compile things is to run "sh.exe" in MinGW/bin. You will
first need to manually compile MinGW versions of PCRE and libXML2. I put
these into C:\pcre and C:\libXML2 respectively.

You may find that you need to alter your path for the configure script to
execute correctly. The following works for me:

  "C:/MinGW/bin/sh.exe"-2.04$ export PATH=/c/MinGW/bin/:/c/pcre/bin/:/c/libxml2/bin/:$PATH
  
Since the install script included with MinGW appears to be defective, you
may need to specify an alternative via the INSTALL variable when running
configure. A suitable alternative is included in the distribution, and can
be used as follows:

  "C:/MinGW/bin/sh.exe"-2.04$ INSTALL=./install-sh ./configure
