I made a fork available at http://code.google.com/p/re2win you can download the source as a .zip file and open the .vcproj file and compile in 'Release' mode.

UPDATE: found a Windows project which may or may not work better: https://code.google.com/p/re2win/

I bet it would build easily using Cygwin.

Since September 2015 a CMakeLists.txt was added to RE2 repository. So now you can use CMake to generate files for Visual Studio and then build like a normal Visual Studio project. I have written a simple step-by-step tutorial on how to build and integrate RE2 in your C++ project for Windows. Tested for VS 13 and 15.

You can build RE2 for Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio by the Bazel build tool https://bazel.build/

0. Get the latest version of RE2 by git clone https://github.com/google/re2.git
1. Download Bazel Windows binary at https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases (scroll down and look for an .exe file)
2. Put the Bazel binary in the root directory of RE2, or add a directory with the Bazel binary to %PATH%.
3. Run the Visual Studio command prompt from the Start Menu, e.g., the the "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt"
4. In the command prompt, go to your RE2 root folder, e.g. cd c:\gitrepos\re2
5. Run bazel.exe build :all
6. Bazel will create the subdirectoris bazel-bin, bazel-out, bazel-re2, bazel-testlogs.
7. You will find the compiled RE2 binaries, i.e. the library and the test programs (.lib, .pdb, .exe) at bazel-bin
8. Optionally, you may run test programs, e.g. regexp_benchmark.exe. You will see the output like that:
