recompile tarball with cygwin?

how do i compile a c++ tarball for windows? not sure but it looks like i probably need to use cygwin to do it but it doesn't really have much helpful documentation. i'm trying to recompile Secret Maryo Chronicles after making a small change in the code and i just thought someone like Steve would know how to recompile it.

source

configure or ./configure didn't work in cygwin. the source is the original source but with a change in video.cpp in cVideo :: Init_Image_Cache this line :

// no cache available
if( !fs::exists( fs::path( imgcache_dir_active, fs::native ) ) )
{
fs::create_directories( fs::path( imgcache_dir_active + "/" GAME_PIXMAPS_DIR, fs::native ) );
}

To This

// no cache available
if( 0 )
{
fs::create_directories( fs::path( imgcache_dir_active + "/" GAME_PIXMAPS_DIR, fs::native ) );
}

cool

ok that's great! but i would look at that wiki for help, since it talks about needing "Boost" and other things.
