I'm trying to build programs for Windows from Ubuntu Linux using mingw32 (i586-mingw32msvc). I've installed mingw32 successfully but when I try to compile programs like GnuTLS, bash, lynx etc with the command

./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc

I receive errors like

pcre-config not found
checking for openssl... no
curses header not found.

and many more

They are installed in Ubuntu but are missing from i586-mingw32msvc (/include, /lib). How do I install those packages in i586-mingw32msvc.
