What I'm trying to say is, the official Mesa source tarballs are missing many files necessary for windows builds.  Please try the git source code, or, if you prefer, a tarball with all the source in git, e.g. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/snapshot/mesa-7.10.3.zip

Known working configurations (from git!) are:
- mingw crosscompilation from linux (x86 only)
- MSVC 2008 (requires cygwin flex & bison in the PATH), x86 or x64
I have these continuously running on Jenkins (previously known as Hudson) from git.

I haven't tried Mingw on Windows. But it should work without problems with MSYS.

Yep. There's no other way to build for windows besides scons.
