Translations:Compile on Windows/71/en

What you need is mainly the compiler. On Windows we use the M$ Visual Studio 9 Compiler 2008 (or VC++ Express 2008) with the highest service pack. Although it's probably possible to use Cygwin or MinGW gcc it's not tested or ported so far. You need to download the Windows Platform SDK to get e.g. the Windows.h, although this should not be needed with M$ compilers (either full or express).
