On windows, you have 3 options for compiling externals. You can use

At least four: CodeWarrior works just fine. If you got it before 

Metrowerks/Motorola/Freescale killed the product.

Moving from XCode to a Windows compiler is a pain. I'm maintaining 

CodeWarrior versions of all my projects solely for the benefit of
