Create a folder to keep the compiled libraries in.

mkdir ${HOME}/mingw
mkdir ${HOME}/mingw/pkgconfig

On Jessie use:

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64

On Wheezy you may need to downgrade the binutils package so use

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64   binutils=2.22-8+deb7u2

Zlib is required by curl, This will build a static lib only (the .dll requires some extra stuff)

Download and extract

wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
tar xzf zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
cd zlib-1.2.8

Configure (this isn't standard autoconf)

CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc \
AR=i686-w64-mingw32-ar \
RANLIB=i686-w64-mingw32-ranlib \
CFLAGS=-O2 \
./configure --prefix=${HOME}/mingw/zlib

Build and Install

make LDSHAREDLIBC=
make install

NB: The LDSHAREDLIBC= option on make removed -lc on some parts of the compilation that causes issues.

Create symlinks for pkg-config (not currently used)

ln -s ../zlib/lib/pkgconfig/zlib.pc ${HOME}/mingw/pkgconfig

OpenSSL is required by Curl.

TODO: Consider using openssl-1.0.2h.tar.gz as this should have longer support than the 1.0.1 series.

Download and extract

wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1t.tar.gz
tar xzf openssl-1.0.1t.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1t

Configure (this isn't standard autoconf)

./Configure mingw --prefix=${HOME}/mingw/openssl --cross-compile-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32-

Build and install

make DIRS='crypto ssl engines' depend
make DIRS='crypto ssl engines' all
make DIRS='crypto ssl engines' install_sw

ln -s ../openssl/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc ${HOME}/mingw/pkgconfig

Download and extract

wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.49.0.tar.gz
tar xzf curl-7.49.0.tar.gz
cd curl-7.49.0/
