Joonas Paalasmaa did the port of the 0.7 series to windows and I have not seem
him around for a while, so the port is unmaintained currently.
We appreciate any help with it.
The best place to sort out the technical details of getting in running
is the skencil-devel list.

I have never attempted to build on windows, so I am also poking in the dark.
Am I right in guessing that this is the result of the last line, 
I am quoting below.

The SVN version might have other improvements, btw.

It jumps into my eye that the path to -c is using slashes, while this might 
possibly be backwards slashes on windows.
I take it you are trying to build with mingw?

Best,
