The current release contains three ways to compile under windows.
The make system included can be run with Cygwin just as you would under a Unix/Linux system. However, this seems to have trouble if you're in a directory with spaces (?) - I don't know why. Move it to a directory that does not.
The projects directory also contains projects for Dev-C++ and Microsoft Visual C++. The Dev-C++ project works fine.
The Visual C++ project is for Visual C++ .NET 2003 only. If using Visual C++ 2005, you must upgrade it with the upgrade wizard. You will also have to add an empty file to the project, "resource.h", to get it to compile.
Note that we will probably be phasing out the Visual C++ build, since future versions may require POSIX functions only available with Cygwin/MinGW (which includes Dev-C++ but not Visual C++).
