Compile in Windows for Windows - Cygwin

• Install Cygwin
• Install libtool
  • Go to www.gnu.org and click on GNU Software, Descriptions Of GNU Software then libtool
  • Download the Stable Release (currently GNU Libtool 1.4.2)
  • Extract the tar/gzipped file (it contains it's own directory)
  • If WinZip asks you to name the file inside, make the name end with ".tar" so it gets un-tarred
  • Go to the libtool source directory in the Cygwin console
  • Run the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    make install
    

• Install Simple DirectMedia Layer
  • Go to www.libsdl.org
  • Click on SDL 1.2 in the Download section on the left side of the page
  • Download the SDL Source Code
  • Extract the zipped file (also available in .gz, .rpm and .bin formats)
  • Go to the SDL directory in the Cygwin console
  • Run the following commands:

    ./configure
    make
    make install
    

• Get the Microsoft DirectX SDK
  • Go to www.microsoft.com
  • Navigate using the frame on the Left:
    • Information For Developers
    • Products & Technologies
    • DirectX
    • Downloads
    • DirectX 8.0a SDK
  • Click on the Download link on the right
  • This is a 135 MB file! Can we distribute just the headers seperately?
  • Run the downloaded program
  • click Unzip to extract it to the default location (C:\mssdk\temp)
  • Click "OK" and "Close" when the program finishes extracting the files
  • Copy ddraw.h dinput.h and dsound.h from the SDK's include directory
  • Paste them in Cygwin's /usr/include/w32api folder (example: "C:\cygwin\usr\include\w32api")
• Go to your quakeforge directory in the Cygwin console
• Run the following commands: (due to bugs in the Directx8 SDK header files you will need --disable-Werror on the configure command line. This may also be the case with earlier Directx SDK's but it hasn't been tested)

  ./bootstrap
  ./configure --program-prefix= --disable-oss --host=i386-mingw32 --build=i386-cygwin --target=i386-ming32 --disable-Werror
  make
  make install
  

• ./bootstrap errors (the first line and the the last few, too many to fit on the screen)

  autoheader: include/config.h.in is unchanged

• Locate the /usr/local/bin directory (example: "C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin")
• Copy the qw-* and nq-* files to your game executable directory (i.e. the folder containing the "hands" folder for Hack and Slash)
