I'm afraid I've actually never installed GNU Radio on Windows, so I
can't be of much help here. Windows, as you've probably gathered, is
woefully under-supported by our community. One of these days I'll get
around to trying it out in Windows...

To attempt to help you out, Swig should just need to be in the PATH
environmental variable. If it passes configure, it's found it. So if
you've made it to the make part and that's where you're getting the
gr_vmcircbuf.cc file, I'm not sure what to tell you. The file is in
gnuradio-core/src/lib/runtime.

Is there any way you can get a Linux installation up and running (even
as a virtual machine)? Ubuntu's pretty easy to install and work with
these days.
