I presume there are at least as many viable options as members in this
group ;-) However my preferred setup is:

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition (it's free)
- Cgywin 1.7

Most cc65 coding I write is supposed to compile with other C compilers
/ run on other platforms too. So MS VC++ gives me beside a very
capable C program editor the option to check if my code compiles with
the VC++ compiler. Cygwin on the other hand gives me beside GNU make
and the "core utils" called from typical Makefiles the option to check
if my code compiles with GCC.

Maybe you want to check out the cc65 documentation. I contributed a
section on this very topic:

Here are my thoughts regarding building on Windows:
