Beats me. My friend abigail doesn't know either.

You can make apps with graphical windows (note: small w)
with the Allegro library
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/
and any of the many GUI add-ons listed under Library Extensions.
But if you want to make a Win32 app for Sinbloze
Ninety-Hate, using WinAPI, you'll have to get one of these:

MinGW32, a minimal gcc for Win32
RSXNTDJ, a gcc-based Windows development system
  (you'll have to patch it up; instructions at http://surf.to/rsxntdj)
Micro$oft Visual C++

Hope this helps
