trying to compile libjingle-0.6.14

i am trying to compile libjingle-0.5.14 on windows XP SP3.

I downloaded and instralled everything according to the README.

 python, SCONS, swtoolkit etc.

And i have MS VisualStudio 2005 on my machine.

When i started complining it, i am getting stuck at

D:\VINU\SOFTWARE\libjingle-0.6.14\libjingle-0.6.14\talk>%PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT%\hamm
er.bat

scons: building terminated because of errors.

This file d3d9.h seems to be part of the DirectX library. so does libjingle 
need DirectX.

Any help to overcome this problem will be appreciated.
