[OT] How do I compile c++ source to a windows exe

["Jonathan Farmer" <jonny.g.farmer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all (otherwise know as the fountains of all knowledge!)

I am a long time lurker and occasional UKHA conference visitor (2004 - I
had
the gadget friendly wife)
and would not post this but have now wasted hours tring to do something
that
should be simple.

I need to compile a program from the C++ source at
http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~pff/segment<http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/%7Epff/segment>
to run in a command window on windows XP

Can someone please point me to a very simple 'How To' as I have no
experience of doing this.

Many thanks

Jonathan Farmer
