error in your wording!!  also make sure that mysys-gcc and mysys-w32api ARE installed. not not installed otherwise gcc - v errors out

Using mingw included toolchain will not work so you should make sure not to install it.

if anyone knows of a good linux tut could you post it please.

Gitian is the easiest way to cross compile it on linux. You can see what is going on behind the scenes by having a look at gitian descriptors: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/gitian-descriptors
thanks but believe it or not i ran gitian on my ubuntu 14.10 and well was never able to boot again. windows or ubuntu seems gitian killed it.
im trying to use your way and getting stuck everywhere lol.

maybe thats why. but when i click the mysys packages leave anything it decides it needs eg mysys auto conf and any dependancys as it picks 5 more things. as if i deselect them i end up with no mysys/1.0/mysys.bat thingy
