SheepShaver Windows Executable

Are there any Pre-compiled versions of SheepShaver for Windows?
I have absolutey no idea how to compile things, so unless someone makes a VERY simple illustrated guide to compiling it, then compiling it is definatly something I won't be doing.
Does this programme work on MS-DOS based versions of Windows, or only on NT?

It says I need a .dll called SDL.DLL. How can I get this file? The only file that Stuffit Expander extracted was 'sheepshaver.exe'
Thanks

Ok I have the executable and the dll file but where exactly do I need to place the .dll file to get sheep saver to run?

In the same directory as the SheepShaver executable.

There is a lot of threads about that error,
i've searched on google and i have received only one site and it is in japanese. unfortunately my education is lacking and i haven't learned japanese just yet, so can you please point me in the direction of a thread?
(no i'm not being lazy, i've searched for a good 20 minutes on this forum and google, no worthy hits)

These two threads mention the "low memory globals" problem:

The error might be caused by using a SDL.dll that hasn't been created using Cygwin.

windowmodes 7 provides several screen modes that can be set in the Mac control panel.
Also found that frameskip 0 results in smoother graphics/GUI

I've tried PPC_Digger's sdl.dll, but I still get the memory error.
I've downloaded and intalled cygwin, and I have the SDL source, but I have no idea how to compile sdl with cygwin.
Does anyone have any pointers?

Taken from the BasiliskII for windows thread:

Step 1. Run the Cygwin setup program, install the default packages and
the development packages (adding any extras you want, like vim).
Step 2. Run the Cygwin shell. Further instructions assume you're in this shell.
Step 3. Extract the SDL source into a directory and run:
./configure && make && make install
Step 4. When you're ready to build SDL applications, copy SDL.dll from
/usr/local/lib to whereever your SDL application source resides.

Thank you Jack Hair, that was very helpful.
I was able to successfully build SDL, (my sdl dll ended up being 3 megs), but I still get the memory error when I place it in my SheepShaver directory, and run SheepShaver
EDIT: Yay! Gwenole has uploaded a new binary that works with the standard sdl.dll! Thank you!

Hello, when I click in sheepshaver icon, one error ocurre:
Cannot map first Kernel Data Area: 487.
What is this? Is because I'm using a WIN98SE? The dll is corrupted? Please helpme!!!
