Problems building Tcl and Expect in MinGW

Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to install Tcl and Expect in MinGW. My further
goal is to build Dejagnu and then to run the gcc test-procedure.
Unfortunately I'm a newbie to this and not used to handle things like
configure-scripts etc.
Here is what happened:
* Started with: Win2kSP4 (never touched by MinGW & Co before)
* Execute MinGW-5.0.3.exe, which installs previously
downloaded files to "C:\MinGW":
* binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz
* gcc-ada-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
* gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
* gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
* gcc-g77-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
* gcc-java-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
* gcc-objc-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
* mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.tar.gz
* mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz
* w32api-3.7.tar.gz
* Execute MSys-1.0.10.exe, which installs itself into
"C:\msys\1.0". After that "post install":
* "Do you have MinGW installed?" -> "y"
* "Where is your MinGW installation?" -> "C:/MinGW"
* "You do not have C:/MinGW/bin/make.exe.
Keep it that way."
* Start MSYS
* Execute "cd tcl8.5a4/win/"
* Execute "./configure --prefix=/mingw"
* Execute "make"
* Execute "make install"
* Execute "make test"
Here occur some errors (I only quote the lines describing the errors):
----------------------------------------------------------------

I ignored this and went on:
* Execute "cd ../../expect-5.43/"
* Execute "./configure --prefix=/mingw --verbose"
This gives "configure: error: Can't find Tcl private headers"
So I tried
* Execute "./configure --prefix=/mingw --verbose
--with-tcl=../tcl8.5a4/win --with-tclinclude=../tcl8.5a4/generic"
which seemd to work, but then
* Execute "make"
resulted in

----------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to be brief, but the error messages are quite long.
I also found this article:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/924e0197f82edc21/2faf2e3169396929
This describes a similar problem, but I don't understand everything of
that.
Does anyone know how to build and install Tcl and Expect (and maybe
Dejagnu) in MinGW?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Sorry for my crappy english!
Wolfgang
