This doesn't work.. error looks like this:
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libmad.lai c:\source\vc\mixer\libmad/lib/libmad.la /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `c:sourcevcmixerlibmad/lib/libmad.la': No such file or directory
Those windows paths just aren't making it through everything without getting mangled.
How exactly would I install manually? Just copy libmad.a?

Configure step goes fine. The prefix is the dir I want to install to e.g. c:\source\vc\mixer\libmad which already exists.

It looks like ranlib is being passed the cygwin version of the path but it doesn't recognize it as it's part of mingw and only allows normal Windows paths. What shall I do about this?
I think both Cygwin and Mingw understand Windows paths, so try:
./configure --host=mingw32 --prefix='C:\source\vc\mixer\libmad'
If not you can just install the library by hand; libmad doesn't hardcode any paths from the configured prefix, so it's safe to omit.
