I have a c-program which includes a make file that works fine on unix systems. Although I would like to compile the program for windows using this make file, how can i go around doing that?

Additionally I have python scripts that call this c-program using ctypes, I don't imagine I will have to much of an issue getting ctypes working on windows but i heard its possible to include all the python and c scripts in one .exe for windows, has anyone heard of that?

Answer to your first paragraph: Use MinGW for the compiler (google it, there is a -w64 version if you need that) and MSYS for a minimal environment including shell tools the Makefile could need.

ok nice i will try this later, does MinGW include all the basic things like math.h ?
Note: The -w64 doesn't mean it's 64-bit only. It's also better than the original MinGW.
If your c-program is simple enough, it should work immediately. You could get into trouble if you have Unix specific calls like termios to process tty io.
