I guess you may compile res.rc (was it?) to res.o manually using windres.exe.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

It's more common to compile Windows programs with Visual Studio instead of gcc, so it's possible that FCEUX isn't set up to be compiled with the latter on Windows (maybe it should work though, I don't know). You should be able to install Visual C++ 2008 or maybe Visual C++ 2010 and then open "fceultra\fceu\vc\vc9_fceux.sln" and hit Build or Run from there.
