Assuming your using the Cygnus GCC port.. make sure you downloaded
all_tar.gz (the reason being that you will have ALL the GNU executables)
and windows32api-0_1_2_tar.gz (although i think the very latest
version of Cygnus-GCC has windows32api built in) - and have it setup
correctly - that can be a real swine sometimes - if you want help with this
try checking out http://www.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp/~colin/mingw32.html 
once you've done that look at the FTP site for circle-gnu.README (i think
its at ftp.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/win95) and read that. Make the
modifications noted and it should work fine.. 

If i have time, i'll zip up the current setup of Cygnus-GCC and stick it on
a site (gonna have to read licenses and stuff first though) and also a
version of circlemud thats stock except for the modifications made for
Cygnus-GCC.. if you have any specific problems, (i.e the mingw32.bat file
gives errors like 'out of environment space' etc) give me an email at
vexed@gconnect.com and i'll try and help.

The command line for compiling?.. make or nmake (whilst in the src
directory). If it hasn't been modified for Gygnus-GCC it won't work though,
you also have to make sure that you have a path going to all the GNU
executables. 

GAWD.. im really gonna have to improve my email writing,
how many open/close brackets (or whatever you want to call them ;) in
there? :)

Regards, Paul

BTW. don't try using the dos version of GCC it doesn't work..
