[SOLVED] Build Errors (Dependencies package)- libpng?

[tomadom]

Hi
I'm using a MinGW compiler 4.8.1 on Windows XP (Win32).
The creating a Makefile with Cmake for the CEGUI dependencies downloaded from the CEGUI website seems to work fine. The build process not so good.

The errors are below. I'm terrible at solving these issues so I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as I really want to start using CEGUI. I may need to build each dependency individually. I initially had a similar error with libexpat so I built it on it's own. Now the error has moved to libpng.
I'm not using C++11 if that helps explain it.

Here's the errors occuring during the make process. I've included some of the lead up output as well.

Ok.. Has anyone successfully built CEGUI and it's dependencies on Windows XP using a MinGW compiler?

What CEGUI version?

From what I see it seems that libpng is incorrectly named liblibpng ? Could this be? Could be a bug in the CMake but why did it not happen on other compilers then, also people successfuly used MINGW in the past (see forum search)

I'm using the latest CEGUI version but I think I'll try some earlier versions.
I'm using Cmake 2.8.12 and have tried later versions as well. I think the problem is originating with Cmake as I am now getting the below errors..
