I have tried it also because I haven't the MSVC.

It hasn't worked : :

wojta@AMZ /c/fs2_open/fs2_open
$ ./configure
configure: loading site script /etc/config.site
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

using Win32 defines (for mingw32)
checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output... configure: error: C++ compiler cannt create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

and part of config.log where the error  is described :

configure:2049: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
 

I have no idea how to solve it.
g++.exe: no input files - ???
There might be a problem in my configuration or configure script.
FS2_OPEN 3.5. I downloaded it from CVS three days ago.

It hasn't worked : :

Do you have the latest MinGW and MSYS (and all the patches) ?  You can get them from the MinGW site

The stuff you need is listed in this post  That's what I have on my machine, and I haven't updated or patched anything else.  Double-check that you've got it all installed correctly, especially the "package upgrades."

I have decided that the problem is in the MSYS shell. I have the latest MinGW. Maybe the patch could help me.

weird.  Well, you'll definitely need MSYS to build, since the Makefiles that are created have a lot of shell script crap in them.  I'm pretty sure it won't work from the brain-dead DOS box.  Anyhow, that's good new (I think).  Keep us posted.

I have just committed new changes to the autoconf scripts, I'll post my changes in the autoconf thread.
