Hi Ian, building OOo on Windows is not straightforward but a build system can be set up in a few hours. And at least instructions for setting it up are available for free. In case you find problems you can get help on this mailing list ([email protected]) or in an IRC channel. It's free also but we wouldn't complain if we got some contributions in return. ;-)
Can you tell me which compiler you want to use and which Windows version? Possible compiler versions are MS Visual Studio 2003 and 2005, the latter also works as "Express" version if you don't need the CLI UNO Bridge or the ActiveX control. If you wanted to stay binary compatible to the "regular" OOo builds you must use VS 2003 for the OOo2.x code line.
