[Ifeffit] Compiling under windows

[Scott Calvin]

Hi all,

A question from person with very limited coding experience (that's me). :)

I'd like to compile ifeffit under Windows XP, so I can increase the 
path limit to 1024. Here's what I've done so far.

1) Downloaded gnu Fortran. It seems to work.

2) Found the consts.h file and changed mpaths to 1024.

So what comes next? Can I run the installer scripts somehow, or does 
that only work under a UNIX-like system? Can I compile just whatever 
piece I need, since presumably all the supporting stuff is already 
installed from when I downloaded the binary directly?

Thanks to anyone who has advice...
