I know the feeling :) I have mine compiling, but not yet running correctly.. here is what i did.

#1 Install Cygnus Gnu Win 32 CORRECTLY (you would be surprised how few people       do that)

#2 Use this as your conf.h:

  #define CIRCLE_WINBLOWS
  #define RETSIGTYPE int
  #define STDC_HEADERS 1
  #define TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME 1
  #define HAVE_CRYPT 1

  #define HAVE_ASSERT_H 1
  #define HAVE_ERRNO_H 1
  #define HAVE_FCNTL_H 1
  #define HAVE_LIMITS_H 1
  #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1

  #define HAVE_SYS_TIME_H 1
  #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1
  #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1
