That's documented in the HowTo:Windows file and in the README.win32 file
from which it's based.

Scan down to where it says:

[ ] Edit Shapelib's Makefile to remove the space after the "-h" on the line that looks like this:

It specifically mentions that issue.

Also, you can just use the "get-maptools.sh" script described towards the 
end of the shapelib section, which will take care of all the arcane junk
that has to happen.

do have it working xastir can connect to the running AGWPE and use it as a
TNC.
