Hi,

I think configure doesn't like the space between Program and Files, the
directory where you installed OCC

from config.log :

...
configure:5070: gcc -o conftest.exe -g -O2  -Lc:/Program
Files/OpenCascade/ros/win32/lib -
Lc:/msys/1.0/local -Lc:/msys/1.0/local/lib  conftest.c -lgslcblas -lm  >&5
gcc.exe: Files/OpenCascade/ros/win32/lib: No such file or directory
...

can you try to move or reinstall OCC elsewhere ?

Cheers,

Dave
