Try use Autotools build system first:

unpack libmicrohttpd-0.4.2.tar.gz
(command line)
$ cd libmicrohttpd-0.4.2
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

More about Autotools read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotools

Built binaries of examples you can find in ./src/examples/.libs

It's better to start with src/examples/minimal_example.c

If you made a change to minimal_example.c source,
run from root libmicrohttpd-0.4.2 directory:
$ cd ./src/examples/
$ make
