Hi T.Wtsing.

You can use MinGW or CigWin in order to get the environment of linux to use
Configure, Make and Make Install steps. This is the only solution, I know so
far, to build linux projects containing makefiles on windows with GCC or
G++. You can google how to get MinGW or CigWin.

The other tool that might also help you is NMAKE tool for windows. Remember
!!! It uses CL compiler.

"CodeBlocks" is a cross platform compiler that might also help you. I
haven't worked much on it but i'm sure it contains option to use makefile to
build a project.

Let me know what option works out for you.
