As "MinGW" stands for Minimalist GNU for Windows I don't believe this is possible, sorry.
Pommespapst:
ah i didnt know that ^^" thanks...
can you by any chance recommend a compiler that does the job?

I am not aware of any possibility to do this. The only possible cross-compilation is under Linux... but that's probably not very mature. I don't think Apple supports cross-compiling from another platform very well... why should they?
Any experiences from other users / devs?!

hmm havent dabbled into it myself but since mac is based on linux it should be doable with a posix compiler like cygwin (might need a development sdk from apple) other options i can think of is rtems (contains quite few compilers targetting other environments).
the might be doable here means possibly but probably very hard to do ;) ill see if i can dig up something on it, newer the less try googling a bit for cross apple compilation.

NOTE: Mac is based partly on BSD; not Linux.

--- Quote ---Mac OS X is based upon the Mach kernel.[11] Certain parts from FreeBSD's and NetBSD's implementation of Unix were incorporated in NeXTSTEP, the core of Mac OS X. NeXTSTEP was the object-oriented operating system developed by Steve Jobs' company NeXT after he left Apple in 1985.[12] While Jobs was away from Apple, Apple tried to create a "next-generation" OS through the Taligent, Copland and Gershwin projects, with little success.
