Hey, Bill! A quick answer...

This page http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32_inkscape_org/win32buildnotes.html says that to build Inkscape for win32 I should compile with: make -f Makefile.mingw

This file doesn't exist in the fresh checkout I made from SVN less than an hour ago. (Except for in some seemingly minor subdirs: F:\usr\pkg\inkscape\head>find . -name Makefile.mingw .\src\dom\Makefile.mingw .\src\pedro\Makefile.mingw

Is there some way I can generate it, or someplace I can download it?

The *.mingw files are not being used anymore. For win32, the buildtool is used. Compile it with `gcc -o btool.exe btool.cpp` (or something like that) and just run it there. It relies on the configuration found in build.xml, tweak it to your needs.

Bob or someone else could give your a more in-depth answer. I hope you find this information useful for the time being.
