I think you may have trimmed out some errors here. It might help if
you include the full error here, from the command run by make through
all the errors thrown by gcc. However, I think this suggests an issue
with mingw or trouble getting the appropriate header from mingw. In
your mingw install, I think you should have include/dirent.h. This
contains the definitions of _wdirent and _WDIR, which I think is what
you're choking on here. If you have that file and it has the
definitions of both, then maybe the build is finding some other
dirent.h. Or perhaps it's not finding dirent.h at all. There should be
output from configure stating whether dirent.h was found.
