Do I need different versions of mingw, installed side-by-side?

I put MinGW exactly where it's needed - in C:\ and without whitespace characters. How do I fix this? There's nothing on Google that will explain it. I'm using the normal MinGW, not a legacy version or beta.
Hi Jeff,
as Inkscape has a lot of dependencies you can't just use any version of MinGW.
The currently recommended (and if you want to compile the current git master only) way is to compile with MSYS2, see http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_with_M... (ignore the bzr parts, that information has yet to be updated)
For 0.92.x you can still use our pre-compiled "devlibs" (or "devlibs64" respectively) with steps detailed at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows and http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape_on_Windows_64-bit but the also need specific versions of mingw(-w64) and won't work with any compiler due to ABI incompatibilites.
If you have further questions let us now.
