type "make"

Howdy, Windows.  I'm a Unix guy.  I've done almost nothing with windows,
so I cannot hold your hand here.  I can point you in the right direction,
but you are going to need to read about "make" and "gcc" and programming
in C++ on your own.

Assuming you get a unix-like environment going with cygwin, you will see
several files mentioned in the Makefile.  Those are the files you need.
(The .o files are built from .cpp and .h files.)
