As far as I know there is no Windows port of zephyr. You might have some
success compiling it with the Cygwin32 environment. This is basically a
library and development suite that provides a Unix emulation layer in a Win32
environment. More information on this package is at:
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/
I personally tried to do this a while ago, and I had trouble. But Cygwin has
had a few releases since then and should be quite a bit improved, also I was
building with Kerberos which dramatically increases the complexity. If you're
building without Kerberos and with a current version of Cygwin you have a much
better chance of success.
