If by "the source files I downloaded" you're referring to the source 
"tarballs" you can get from wireshark.org, they're meant for Windows as 
well as all the Unix-like systems Wireshark runs on - there's nothing 
Linux-specific about them.

See

	http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development

for directions on Wireshark development; that gives pointers for setting 
up a development environment for Windows.  In particular, it directs you 
to the Wireshark Developer's Guide:

You'll need Cygwin, which I think will also give you the "patch" command 
that will let you apply a patch to the source code.
