Cannot build Soundpipe DSP library on Windows

I've found the lightweight DSP c library - Soundpipe.
I want to use some filters from it. I do not really need binary files, but the problem is that the repository doesn't have its main header file - soundpipe.h. As I understand, this is because the library uses specific modules ported from Csound and FAUST languages. Also the repository's readme doesn't have installation guide for Windows. It says:

By default, Soundpipe needs libsndfile, and a standard build environment. Other modules that use other external libraries will need to be explicitly compiled by modifying config.mk (note: but the Makefile's folder doesn't contain config.mk, there is only config.def.mk)

To compile:

make

sudo make install

Ok, I've downloaded and installed libsndfile.
Then I have tried to use MSVC's nmake - it doesn't work: 

makefile(7) : fatal error U1036: syntax error : too many names to left of '='
Stop.

Here is the beginning of the makefile:

> .PHONY: all clean install docs bootstrap
> 
> default: all
> 
> VERSION = 1.5.0
> 
> INTERMEDIATES_PREFIX ?= . PREFIX ?= /usr/local
> ...

After that I've downloaded MinGW, mingw32-make result: 

config.mk: No such file or directory
mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target 'config.def.mk', needed by 'config.mk'. Stop.

Ok, when I try to run the configure command, it doesn't work on my Win7 x 64 (sh: ./configure: No such file or directory, etc...)

I have the paths in mt system path variable:

C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin

Links that I've read:
How Do I Run ./configure with MinGW?
Getting mingw-get to install correctly - mingw/msys path missing plus more!

MinGW's configure doesn't work after reinstalling Git for Windows and GCC_TDM too (No idea how to run configure).

Any ideas how to build the library or at least find missing source files (or make through CSound, Faust, ...) ?

The Soundpipe build system is designed to be used with POSIX environments, of which there are a few to choose from on Windows.

I've been able to build Soundpipe using both MSYS2 and Windows Bash on Windows 10.
