You need the SDK which has the libraries and resource compiler necessary to
make Windows programs. It also comes with debugging tools and a font and icon
editor.

You need a separate C compiler as well. Currently only Microsoft C and Zortech
C++ (that I know of) support generating code that is compatible with windows.
