I remember I had to use a different version of gcc because compilation was segfaulting on me, but that's pretty much it. Oh.. I also had the benefit of knowing russian.
Oh... as for where to start in order to compile under Windows.... That's very easy. See:
http://www.cygwin.com/. That's how I did it, so I can tell you it works. (you'll need to remember to select the right packages like gcc, binutils, etc.) Now... if you don't know the first thing about unix (eg what 'ls' is), then i'm afraid I can't help. (but the tutorial pretty much tells you everything step-by-step)
have fun! p.s., what tool are you compiling?
