I don't know CVS or what compiler or make utility you're using.
welcome... there are as many make utilities as there are users. for the core: theres pd/src/makefile.nt for VC6, VS.NET project maintained by the devel users, SCons which can build via MSVC or MinGW (or Borland, or...) for the externals: in the attic of /externals/build/windows theres a VC6 makefile to build the C externs but it failed on about half of them for MSVCisms and such, so theres a GCC-oriented makefile there now..in externals/build theres a SConscript that tends to barely work on windows (i got it compiling a few and lost interest) and in /packages/windows there may or may not be a makefile attempting to do similar things..based on the one in p/ackages/darwin/
i think that covers most of the choices, for windows. on linux theres the "one true choice"...

From Windows users I often hear that they're using TortoiseCVS.
For the build system you will need SCons (and therefore Python).
I do know C and some Tk, and I've been doing audio programming for video games for the last 15 years or so. And that's what brings me here today.
What would you like to improve in PureData ?
id like to make PD work on my computer, i enjoyed using it!
