There are plenty of good compiling guides, but it's quite simple really.
Unzip mingw_for_mame.zip somewhere useful i.e C:\Mingw.
Make.exe and the compiler executables should now be in C:\Mingw\bin.

Try building plain old MAME to start with.
Unzip the source somewhere, some people use C:\Mingw\MAME.

Open a CLI prompt.
Type "cd \Mingw\MAME" or wherever you put the source.
Type "path c:\mingw\bin;%path%" to add the bin dir to your path.

Type "make" and it should start building MAME based on the contents of "makefile".

Sounds like your using XP if so create your own batch file in the mame src code to set your paths and compile the code,
No need to alter any of the operating system paths then.
