[Pan-users] Building Pan on windows

[dpa_lists]

After my windows system died I needed to reload my Pan build environment.  I 
previously had it working but had not built anything since Pan 0.98 I think.

I followed the instructions in Readme.mingw with two execptions:
1) I had to make more changes to gmime than what the document indicated but 
gmime did build cleanly

2) Pan complained that it could not find libpcreposix.a when it was compiling 
so I renamed libpcreposix.dll.a to libpcreposix.a

Pan builds fine with those changes above, opens up, downloads groups and 
headers but when trying to download a message it crashes with this error from 
Windows:
pan.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. 

Here is the output of pan --debug:

The pan.exe that Charles built works fine on this same system and I am using 
gtk runtime 2.8.15.

Any tips or pointers?

Thanks!
