That code is for a Linux operating system. But if you just want to install PHP under Windows, you don't need to compile anything, just download the Windows version of PHP and install it, according to directions. See http://www.ricocheting.com/server/php.html. I'm assuming you already have Apache installed, as well as MySQL? In case you don't, you may find it easier to install all 3 together ("WAMP").
