Building source code on windows is radically different than doing so on
unix, so no. The only thing that might work is setting up a cygwin
environment and seeing if it will build in that.

BTW, if you want to get an easier introduction to using unix than
switching to an actual linux/unix get a Mac. The command line is unix.
