I find this tutorial easier, and the wiki page you linked to is more for linux than Windows.
The very first sentence on the SimpleGuideToCompiling wiki page says, "NOTE: This guide is for Windows users only! Linux users can read LinuxSimpleGuideToCompiling."
It is our policy that information such as tutorials belong in the wiki rather than in the forums. There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that it is much easier to maintain information on the wiki and to keep it up to date than when that information is in a forum thread. If you believe that the information in this thread is easier to understand than the wiki page, the appropriate solution would be to update the wiki page to make it more clear, not to update a 2-year old thread.
