That's what I got (with other files in libs)
I had to do it from the console of MSYS, because "./configure" doesn't 
make sense in a DOS prompt box

Here are my directories:
c:\Programmes\KDE-mingw
c:\texworks-mingw\hunspell-1.2.8
c:\texworks-mingw\texworks

and the modification of TeXworls.pro:
win32 { # paths here are specific to my cross-compilation setup
    INCLUDEPATH += C:/Programmes/KDE-mingw/include/poppler/qt4
    INCLUDEPATH += C:/texworks-mingw/hunspell-1.2.8/src/hunspell

    LIBS += -LC:/texworks-mingw/hunspell-1.2.8/src/hunspell/.libs
}

KDE-mingw is not in Program Files as this was not advisable for the 
space and it is parallel to KDE for msvc.
The texworks-mingw is parallel to the texworks for MSVC 2005; in fact I 
did first use the msvc directory for mingw, but after I created totally 
separated directories.

The error from mingw32-make is:

mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `/c/texworks-mingw/texworks'
Makefile.Release:115: *** missing separator.  Stop.
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/texworks-mingw/texworks'
mingw32-make: *** [release] Error 2

I got the same error from the MSYS console or from a DOS prompt box

QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.4.3 C:/Programmes/KDE/bin/../lib

There it is (?) it should be KDE-mingw!
So I renamed "qmake" into "min-qmake" and I could use "make", but with 
errors, see attached file for the output of compilation.
