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.

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).
