Rohit,

I would suggest you try running a local Virtual machine with Linux to
test your compiling.
Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/
is a good free desktop app for running virtual machines, and you can
install any Linux OS as a guest. If you want something quick and easy
you can start with the OSGeo Live VM based on Ubuntu which you can get
from http://live.osgeo.org/download.html

Let me know if you have questions about that.

Thanks,
Alex
