The problem I have found out is I could not process the configure step as below. The result shows "No such file or directory"

Hi,

you've unpacked it to usr/tmp/trunk..., in usr/build, use ../trunk
/.../mingw... instead.

You have also forgot to set --target, please read the mingw-w64 build
instructions more carefully.

I suggest you read <http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linuxcommand.org/index.php>.
It would help a new user like you to make sense of the CLI environment.
