I would download and install Cygwin:

SMAUG will definitely compile and run under that. Also it is free.

Then I would edit the source files and browse through them to see what they do. The initial one for new players is comm.c.

Get a book about C programming or search the web for sites that teach how to program in C.

Also see my web page:

This has a lot of tips for getting started compiling.
