Sibel, a couple of points.

1. You've posted this to several different mailing lists. See which one
looks best and stick to it.

2. You haven't provided any details of where your problem is.

Are you running cygwin instead of min-gw? Why did you choose this?
How far have you got compiling PostgreSQL? Configure? Make? Install? Run?
What error messages do you get and when do you get them?

Have you read the relevant documentation (the online manual,
installation chapter and the relevant docs in the source distribution)?

Post back to this mailing list (or perhaps the win32 one) once you have
some details.

See you soon!
