All you have to do now is go into your mingw shell
environment, go into the directory where you extracted DeSmuME,
and type: "./configure". Once that's done(and there was no
errors), type: "make". It should now take some time to compile so
go grab yourself a sandwich or beer - whatever suits your fancy
and it should be done in a few minutes. Now all you have to do is
type "./src/desmume" in order to run it.
