Compiling library in Windows

[Nicholas Watmough]

I've not sure how I can compile the library in Windows.

I don't have Visual C++ 2003 (with IDE) to compile the provided files.

The webpage suggests downloading the Visual C++ 2003 toolkit, which I've 
done, but the MySQL++ files use the VC++ project files, which require 
the IDE to use.

How can I compile it using only the command line tool?

Or is it possible to compile using another Windows C++ compiler, like MingW.
