From reading over your post, my recommedation is that you wait till the binary is released. It is going to be ALOT of work for someone completely unfamiliar with development to try and set up the compiler, figure out how to compile the code, then set up and run the server. I dont want to discourage you from trying if you are wanting to learn, buit if you just want the server software as the end product, you're going to go through ALOT of effort for very little.
gcc is a linux compiler, it's not going to do any good downloading it for windows. Those install instructions are for a linux build of EQEMU, it 1st off requires LINUX. There are no instructions for building gcc or setting up your compiler, in the linux world, thats typically taken care of for you, and as such is left as an exercise for the reader.
cygwin is a LINUX port to windows (another OS, not WINDOWS) that will run within the wndows machine, it has gcc as a part of it.
for people that want to play with the code and compile, and dont want to buy a compiler, its the best best. I've never built and run eqemu from inside it, but I've been told it can be done.
