How to build hsdis.dll for Windows 32-bit?

I am trying to build hsdis.dll in my laptop 32-bit Windows. I read http://dropzone.nfshost.com/hsdis.htm instructions and got to know that I will have to follow those steps. I saw that I have to use the mingw64-i686-gcc-core. I followed the steps, but have always found this error.

make[2]: i686-w64-mingw32: Command not found Makefile:246: recipe for target 'libiberty.a' failed make[2]: *** [libiberty.a] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/User/hsdis/build/Linux-i586/libiberty' Makefile:8045: recipe for target 'all-libiberty' failed make[1]: *** [all-libiberty] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/User/hsdis/build/Linux-i586' Makefile:192: recipe for target 'build/Linux-i586/bfd/libbfd.a' failed make: *** [build/Linux-i586/bfd/libbfd.a] Error 2 

I would also like to know how to use the directive PrintAssembly, because i wanted to see the assembly code, of a Java class.

I have already saw other posts here, but none of them helped.

Thanks in advance

Here are the steps which help me to build it (x64 version, x86 should be almost the same):

• download and unpack the latest hsdis sources as described in the building manual from the http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/hotspot/tags;
• download the latest bintuils-2.26.tar.gz package from the http://mirror.tochlab.net/pub/gnu/binutils/;
• copy it to your Cygwin home directory and unpack it from the Cygwin terminal (this is very important, otherwise you may get permission problems): tar -xzvf ./binutils-2.26.tar.gz
• install the following Cygwin packages: mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core for x64 or mingw64-i686-gcc-core for x86, diffutils and make;
• go to hsdis directory;
• for x64 library build with the command: make OS=Linux MINGW=x86_64-w64-mingw32 'AR=x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar' BINUTILS=~/binutils-2.26 CONFIGURE_ARGS="--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32", for x86 library build with the command: make OS=Linux MINGW=i686-w64-mingw32 'AR=i686-w64-mingw32-ar' BINUTILS=~/binutils-2.26 CONFIGURE_ARGS="--host=i686-w64-mingw32"
• if you have errors with undefined references to zlib (i.e. build/Linux-amd64/bfd/libbfd.a(compress.o):compress.c:(.text+0x7e): undefined reference to inflate), modify Makefile in hsdis: find the line $(CC) $(OUTFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) $(SOURCE) $(DLDFLAGS) $(LIBRARIES) for the $(TARGET) target and append to the end -lz -L$(TARGET_DIR)/zlib, then run the build command again;
• after that you should find the library hsdis-amd64.dll in hsdis\build\Linux-amd64\ for x64, or hsdis-i386.dll in hsdis\build\Linux-i586\ for x86.
