ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I just had a look at the source. Given the "#ifdef WIN32"s sprinkled through the code it looks like it is supposed to compile on windows. I guess you'll just need to first install gcc and make.
Run "./configure --help". Can you produce a windows target? If it doesn't have a configure file, you will need to read the Makefile or code to see if you can produce win32 code.
Usually you need to use the MingGW or Cygwin's gcc compiler to produce Windows code. There are some libraries that exist in both windows and Linux. You may need to install them as well if needed.
Most importantly, read the README and INSTALL files carefully.
I think evo meant that you have to set up a development environment on Windows. More generally, your devolopment environment needs to include the headers, libraries, etc. for Windows
eg. if your source code specifies "include stdio.h", then stdio.h needs to be a Windows version.
