How to get Minimodem to work on Windows.

Here's Windows instructins regardless, owo:

1) Hug https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe .
2) Use a globally-accessible directory for the isntallation llcoation, such as C:\Cygwin64.
3) Same deal as 2, but a differet folder. I used C:\cygpkg.
4) Make it do things until it's all online, happy, and showing you a package manager.
5) In the search box, type the following in and click the little circly-icon so it changes from "Skip" to either "Install" or a version number:

autoconf (just Devel)
make (just Devel)
gcc (Only under Devel, hug /at least/ gcc-core, gcc-g++, all gcc-tools, gccmakedep, and both variants of mingw64-core and mingw64-g++. If unsure, you can just hug them all, but they're kinda large.)
pulse (Audio, Doc, Libs)
pkg-config (Devel)
fftw3 (Devel, Libs, Math)
nano (Editors)
sndfile (Audio, Libs)

Next, confirm things, be patient, really patient. Add an icon to your desktop. It's helpy.

Run the thingy once it's all done, then extract http://www.whence.com/minimodem/minimodem-0.24.tar.gz to (for example) C:\cygwin64\home\Cecil . There's an archive inside the archive; extract the actual folder that's inside the inside archive. Basically, C:\cygwin64\home\cecil\minimodem (or similar) should be a valid path, not a file name.

In Cygwin's shell, do this:

cd m{tab}{enter}
./configure --without-alsa
make

Provided there's no errors, you should now be able to do the following:

cd src
./minimodem.exe --tx 300 --tx-carrier -v 0.1

Upon hitting enter after the last command, you should hear a tone over your speakers or headphones (Whichever's default). Ctrl-C to stop. If you do not hear the tone, but do see a list of options for minimodem.exe, double-check your spelling. If the command isn't found, send me screenshots of ./configure's output and Make's output.

To change which speaker/mic the program uses, right-click the speaker icon by your clock in the taskbar, select Recording Devices (or Playback Devices), right-click the appropriate device, and "Set as default".
