Facepalm

I've compiled libraries before, many libraries not just when I used Linux but for the PSP under Cygwin.

I just want to know how to compile libraries FOR Windows... because I've only ever used "./configure" and "./configure --target-os=mingw32" or similar but barely any libraries use the TARGET-OS flag....... hence my question.

"lib" typically refers to a precompiled library. :P

Uncompiled, it depends on what you want to do.  Can be done separately, can be done at the same time, doesn't really matter...

I haven't really built libraries for Windows since it's easier to use precompiled, so I can't really say for sure, but:
Many of these libraries are probably built for Unix as opposed to Windows.  So you're probably going to have to modify stuff to get them to work.  I suggest downloading Windows ports (check the gnu win32 page).
There are tools like nmake etc, but configure is not going to work in a Windows environment, and cygwin, would depend on how well it works.  If it includes a MSVC .sln file, you could use that (but I doubt they have that).

ok so let say I had the libpng sources........ not the precompiled - how would I compile it seperately?
