mingw headers and libraries missing

[Georg Troska]

Ok,
thank you all for reading this stuff....

I'm able to run the code now with visual c++. I had never thought I  
would use it ;-)

actually it took me 3 hours to run a hello world and anther 6 to run  
the code

however thanks a lot. and please let me now when the cross-comipler is  
working
