What do you particularly mean? If you clone the git repo, then make sure you have gcc of some sort and added to your path, you should just be able to cd to the root cc65 directory and type "make" and let it ride

Also, there are prebuilt binaries for you, you can add the bin folder to path if you want. I do it all local from a batch file.

Perhaps the errant instructions are from the wiki on nesdev - and that's probaby outdated - it's five years old. The instructions on the cc65 site are simpler:

yea cc65 just has a prebuilt version for windows, you download it (in the link that BigEd posted), unzip it to somewhere, add the bin folder to your PATH variable and then it just works.

though cc65 also has it's own envrioment variable that you should probably set, that being "CC65_HOME" which simply points to the directory where you put cc65.
