So I hope this is the right place to post a couple of libgsf patches which enable libgsf to be cross-compiled using Fedora MinGW cross-compiler.
You've got the right place.
The first patch changes the way that libbz2 / bzlib.h is detected. http://www.nabble.com/failed-tests-AC_CHECK_LIB-td19588119.html#a19589469
Applied along with a minor cosmetic tweak. Thanks for looking at this. I also tidied up our gnumeric-win32 patches for bzip2 to be more work properly.
The second patch, considerably simpler, enables deprecated functions in glib, because otherwise G_WIN32_DLLMAIN_FOR_DLL_NAME isn't defined in gsf/gsf-utils.c. I'm not really familiar with what this macro does, and maybe a better solution is just to not use it if the macro isn't defined.
I went a different direction on this one and implemented a DllMain routine to stash the hinst which appears to be what most others do. We only needed it to access installation prefix when initializing gettext.
Thanks for the assistance. Patches will be in 1.14.11
