The configure "script" (which is actually an executable) just seems to display the GPL (which you can edit in an accompanying text file so you don't have to hit enter repeatedly), ask if you agree and then bail out. Perhaps that's because I don't have mingw installed; I'm not sure, because it didn't give any kind of error.
In fact you need to give configure a platform with -platform xxx option. For mingw xxx is win32-g++ (cf. mkspecs dir and configure --help)
Here in france we have the right of "Private copy" but since 1-2 years we have a tax on every kind of media allowing storage of music (CD/DVD, HardDisk, FloppyDisk, Memory Cards,...) The reason is a compensation of the loose of profit generated by the "private copy" right allowed by law.
Actually European Laws permit us to buy these taxed stuff elsewhere in Europe without paying the french tax if and only if the equivalent tax is paid by the provider in his country. The point is that German people can buy their computer in another country to bypass the tax as french people can buy their blank media in Germany or England where there's less or no tax on blank media
