Instructions on building TightVNC are included in the BUILDING.txt file 
within the source archive. Here is a quote:

== cut ===

This distribution requires third-party libraries for successful
compilation. They are NOT included in this archive. The required
libraries include zlib and JPEG libraries freely available in the
source form from the following locations:

   ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz

Please download these libraries prior to compilation. Note that these
archives are in tar+gzip format not very popular in Windows
environments. To unpack the files, either install appropriate
extractors available for Windows platforms, or unpack them on
Unix-like machines.

After you have downloaded and unpacked the libraries, place their
source files to the locations listed below, NOT overriding existing
files:

   zlib library:
     vnc_winsrc/vncviewer/zlib/
     vnc_winsrc/winvnc/zlib/

   JPEG library:
     vnc_winsrc/vncviewer/libjpeg/
     vnc_winsrc/winvnc/libjpeg/
