Nothing special, just "./configure && make", as you'd do on a Posix
system.

The trick is to have a development environment that supports the
above.  I use MSYS and MinGW from mingw.org:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/

If you don't have the dependency libraries, you need to install them
first.  They are also built as above, but you can find precompiled
32-bit binaries and the corresponding header files here:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files

If you want to build a 64-bit version of Wget, I suggest to get the
dependencies from the MSYS2 project, starting with this page's
instructions:

  https://msys2.github.io/

The MSYS2/MinGW64 development environment can be installed from that
page as well (if you don't have it).
