Use the Visual Studio Command Prompt, then

cd \where\you\put\it
nmake -f makefile.nmake

Or if you prefer the IDE, then File + New + Project, Visual C++, General node, pick the Makefile Project template. Name = libevent-2.0.10-stable, Location = parent directory (\where\you\put). OK. Next. Build command = nmake -f makefile.nmake, rest blank.
