Here's how I build yaws on Windows:

My source root is $ROOT.
Unpack yaws-1.68 into $ROOT/lib/yaws.
Have a folder called $ROOT/extra with the files yaws_generated.erl and
yaws.app (although I forget why I need yaws.app):

yaws_generated.erl:
%%%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%%% File    : yaws_generated.template
%%% Author  : Klacke <klacke@REDACTED>
%%% Purpose : 
%%% Created : 10 Jun 2002 by Klacke <klacke@REDACTED>
%%%----------------------------------------------------------------------

%% generated code from some environment variables
%% especially VARDIR is important since it controls
%% where the --hup and friends

-module(yaws_generated).
-author('klacke@REDACTED').

-compile(export_all).

version() -> "1.68".

vardir() ->  "C:/yaws/var".

ctldir() -> "C:/yaws/var/run/yaws".

etcdir() -> "C:/yaws/etc".
	  
% (Or whatever you want your defaults to be.)

yaws.app:
{application, yaws, [
	{description, "yaws WWW server"},
	{vsn, "1.68"},
	{modules, [
		yaws,
		yaws_app,
		yaws_ticker,
		yaws_config,
		yaws_server,
		yaws_sup,
		yaws_api,
		yaws_log,
		yaws_ls,
		yaws_debug,
		yaws_compile,
		yaws_ctl,
		yaws_cgi,
		yaws_zlib,
		yaws_generated,
		mime_type_c,
		mime_types,
		yaws_session_server,
		yaws_404,
		yaws_revproxy,
		yaws_html,
		yaws_log_file_h,
		yaws_rss,
		yaws_dav,
		yaws_pam,
		json,
		jsonrpc,
		yaws_jsonrpc,
		yaws_xmlrpc,
		haxe,
		yaws_rpc,
		yaws_soap_srv,
		yaws_soap_lib
	]},
	{registered, []},
	{mod, {yaws_app, []}},
	{env, []},
	{applications, [
		kernel,
		stdlib
	]}
]}.

And then I run this batch script:

build_yaws.bat:
@echo off
setlocal

copy /Y extra\yaws_generated.erl lib\yaws\src
cd lib\yaws\src

set ERLC="C:\Program Files\erl5.5.4\bin\erlc"
set ERL="C:\Program Files\erl5.5.4\bin\erl"

set ERLCOPTS=-W -pa .. -I../include -o ../ebin
set ERLOPTS=-noshell  -pa ../ebin

pause

I have also made a small attempt at writing a yaws.bat file, but I
haven't used this in a few years:
