I this page http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/it/~jeff/khe/[^]
There Software Library for High School Timetabling and it is an open source ANSI C99 software library.
I install "Pelles C IDE" to compile this code, because Visual studio not support C99 standards, but i can't compile code with PellesC also.
Question

If you can compile with Linux GCC then there's a good chance you can compile using either MinGW or even more likely with Cygwin.
MinGW is a minimal environment to enable the use of GCC and other GNU tools under Windows. Cygwin is more like a GNU-Linux distro of packages which all run on Windows under a Cygwin environment.
Details of obtaining and using either of these free toolsets can be found by internet search but you're in for a few days work in all likelihood to get set up for compilation.

Clearly you need to make the call whether it's more or less effort to change the KHE source to work with Microsoft Visual C or get MinGW or Cygwin working to build it.

According to this Wikipedia page: C99 implementations[^] Pelles C fully supports C99 (please not in KHE page there is no mention of C99 standard). You probably should post some of the errors you're getting in order to obtain better help.

if source code is ANSI C , is this mean that this code is cross Platforms?
this code depend on Posix threads in PDF documintation he say
"KHE uses Posix threads to implement solving in parallel (function KheParallelSolve from Section 12.1), so the compiler and linker commands need the -pthread flag. If you don’t have Posix threads, the makefile documents a workaround. The only difference will be that KheParallelSolve will do its solving sequentially rather than in parallel."

So it is not the compiler.
You might use, as suggested in the other solution, gcc on Windows or the 'Makefile documented' workaround.
