Ah,

So finally we find out it's litecoin you are building. Well I don't follow litecoin. What version of litecoin? What version of bitcoin was/is litecoin basing its code from? There must be a litecoin specific forum where these matters are discussed? I don't know where it is though. It is hard enough just to keep track of bitcoin development

Is there a place where you can just download a pre-built litecoind.exe and litecoin-qt.exe versions for windows ala sourceforge where bitcoin prebuilt for windows releases may be had?

If you must build your own, I would suggest that you do something like the following. Build a bitcoind.exe and bitcoin-qt.exe for the version that litecoin is derived from first. Then build the litecoind and litecoin-qt.exe and note the differences in the code and the make files. Using the correct libraries and compiler for the bitcoin version chosen is important, I should think.

This would work for any *coin derived from bitcoin.
