I get pretty much the same errors when building in mingw (via dev-cpp) I 
cannot seem to build the library in the same program, but have managed 
in another mingw install, though a slightly different version.

If you manage to solve it perhaps you could help me out with explaining 
how, or if someone knows a step by step guide of how to build antlr 
solutions in dev-cpp that would be lovely too.

Cheers,
