I believe you need to do the following:

create a directory tree somewhere, e.g.:

c:\local\include
c:\local\lib
c:\local\bin

Now set up some environment variables to tell the libCVD build process 
about these directories. Other libCVD/Windows users havre had good luck 
with RapidEE http://www.rapidee.com/en/about

set the variables:

INCLUDEDIR=c:\local\include
LIBDIR=c:\local\lib
BINDIR=c:\local\bin


Then compile the prerequisites and put them in the new directory tree:

Compile libjpeg, and put the headers in c:\local\include and the .lib 
or dll file in c:\local\lib.

Then do the same for pthreads-win32. I believe it is available 
pre-compiled.

Download TooN and move the entire thing to c:\local\include\TooN (there 
is no compiling).

Now libCVD should compile. If you use the installer, it will put libCVD in 
the directory tree that you created.

In order to use libCVD, you need only point the compiler at 
c:\local\include and c:\local\lib, and it will find all the correct 
libraries.
