The subdirectory sx/ of the OpenSP package is for sure irrelevant for  
use. The only relevant part is the library (DLL) in the first  
subdirectory lib/. Hence, the build errors in sx/ and subsequent  
directories can be ignored.

However, the more severe error is that the build in lib/ only builds a  
static library and not a dynamic DLL. This is wrong - we need the DLL,  
which is the reason why install.sh subsequently fails with the "Not  
installed correctly" message.

The relevant error for this problem is at the end of buildling lib/:

>  Warning: Trying to link with static lib archive ../intl/libintl.a.

and additionally the next warning about the "-lpthread" library. I  
think both shouldn't have appeared on the command line here. Did those  
get pulled in from some environment variable? You need to find out  
where this -lpthread comes from, and disable that. I guess the  
libintl.a static library comes from the similar env variable, and it  
must be changed to pull in -lintl from the gnome/lib directory so that  
it eventually links to gnome/bin/intl.dll.
