title: How to install and use open source library on Windows?
body: <p>I'd like to use open source library on Windows. (ex:Aquila, following <a href="http://aquila-dsp.org/articles/iteration-over-wave-file-data-revisited/" rel="nofollow">http://aquila-dsp.org/articles/iteration-over-wave-file-data-revisited/</a>) But I can't understand anything about "Build System"... Everyone just say like, "Unzip the tar, do configure, make, make file" at Linux, but I want to use them for Windows. There are some several questions.</p>
  
  <p>i) Why do I have to "Install" for just source code? Why can't I use these header files by copying them to the working directory and throw #include ".\aquila\global.h" ??</p>
  
  <p>ii) What are Configuration and Make/Make Install? I can't understand them. I just know that configuration open source with Windows need "CMake", and it is configuration tool... But what it actually does??</p>
  
  <p>iii) Though I've done : cmake, mingw32-make, mingw32-make install... My compiler said "undefined references to ...". What this means and what should I do with them?</p>
