If you want a compiler, then install MinGW - it is what I use.

Download this http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download
and put the resulting directory in your path.

You should be able to run buildrelease\makedist.py and the right thing
will happen.  If it doesn't, it is a bug and I will fix it.  I'd
recommend editting src\version.py first and changing the line that
begins vendor="..." to be vendor="yourname"

Why would you need to do that?

In addition to the packages listed in the developer page, you will need a
number of others.  The makedist.py script will check for them and their
version so you can keep running it until it is happy.
