Good.

Of course it "saves a time", but it can't help to

I'm already reading it... for a long time :(

Well, just one step at at time: but what step are you stuck on?
nasm, lame, xvid, x264?

You can disregard some of the conventions you see in the HOWTO. It's kind of
old.
I'd leave out the drive names. I don't know if that's your problem, but the
current and testing mingw versions on the net don't require that you use
windows naming conventions for the drive letters.

./configure --prefix=/mingw

As for cygwin removing and make.exe moving, OK, I'll check it all, and will

If you want to verify your executables, just use the objdump program:

~ objdump -p /usr/bin/make-3.79.1.exe | grep "DLL Name"

That should show you which libraries your make program is actually using.
Shouldn't have any cygwin libraries: just KERNEL32.dll, msvcrt.dll

You can do the same with your gcc compiler
~ objdump -p /usr/bin/gcc.exe | grep "DLL Name"

I have to switch between make programs because some sources will not compile
with the newer make-3.81.exe. So I still use the original make-3.79.1.exe to
use with some of those sources.

Thanks.
