It seems that the headers are not mingw-compatible completely.
When I try to build the npapi plugin with mingw32, I get two errors:
1.
../../headers/npruntime.h:103: error: expected
specifier-qualifier-list before ‘bool’
include stdbool.h will solve this problem;

2.
../../headers/npapi.h:530: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
before ‘uintptr_t’
include stdint.h will sovle this one.

What about adding a _MINGW macro or someting like that in nptypes.h to fix
mingw32 build?

I just write a basic npapi plugin in C, which builds with mingw32 and runs well
with Firefox5. I'd like to contribute my code to npapi-sdk, but I don't know how
hard it will be. Could you review my code and give me some suggestions?

Here is my code:
git clone https://code.google.com/p/npapi-study/

Thanks very much!
