'make' will work directly.
Note that compilation requires a JDK be installed, and by default
the Oracle JDK on Windows is installed in a path such as
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\. GNU autotools do not handle
paths containing spaces, so you will need to copy the JDK to a
directory without spaces in the name, such as C:\jdk1.6.0_16\, then
add C:\jdk1.6.0_16\bin to $PATH before running './configure'
Note also that libtool may fail on mingw32 on Windows if
C:\Windows\system32 is on $PATH before /usr/bin. The fix is to have
the C:\Windows directories at the _end_ of your mingw $PATH.
