in a terminal, move to the directory with the unzipped files and type
make

like this (this is cygwin on windows):

Chris@M6700 /cygdrive/d
$ cd woff-code-latest

Chris@M6700 /cygdrive/d/woff-code-latest
$ make
cc    -c -o sfnt2woff.o sfnt2woff.c
cc    -c -o woff.o woff.c
cc  -o sfnt2woff sfnt2woff.o woff.o -lz
cc    -c -o woff2sfnt.o woff2sfnt.c
cc  -o woff2sfnt woff2sfnt.o woff.o -lz

This assumes that you have:
a compiler (gcc)
make (or gmake)
the zlib libraries (used for lots of things - PNG, HTTP, etc).

Try that and let me know if there is a problem.
