Building nginx from Source on Windows

[Igal @ Lucee.org]

update:  so I ran the following command:

auto/configure --with-cc=gcc --prefix= --conf-path=conf/nginx.conf 
--pid-path=nginx.pid --http-log-path=logs/access.log 
--error-log-path=logs/error.log--without-http_gzip_module 
--without-http_rewrite_module

and it creates the objs/Makefile (35kb) and Makefile (1kb) and directory 
structure of the sources.  there is also an autoconf.err file with a 
single line in it:  checking for gcc -pipe switch

running:

make -f objs/Makefile

populates the directory structure with .o files, and produces nginx.exe 
which is about 3.14 MB (3,293,712 bytes).  can I just use that file or 
do I still need to run "make install"?  running

make install -f objs/Makefile

generates an error:

test -d '' || mkdir -p ''
mkdir: `': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

running the nginx.exe file creates two processes named nginx, but 
requests to localhost:8080 (I changed the port in nginx.conf) hang, and 
error.log shows the following:

2015/12/27 11:22:48 [alert] 10032#9464: GetQueuedCompletionStatus() returned operation error (1236: The network connection was aborted by the local system)
2015/12/27 11:22:48 [alert] 10032#9464: *1 connection already closed while waiting for request, client: 127.0.0.1, server: 0.0.0.0:8080
