First off, you are using the wrong version of the C front-end: if you
are using Windows, you should not be using the FreeBSD C front-end.

On Windows, we highly recommend using Cygwin, as native Windows (without
Cygwin) support is in early stages.  So, you would need to install
Cygwin and then build your own version of the C front-end.  The
directions to build the C front-end are here:
