How to compile darkplaces on windows?

[C167]

Hi, in general, I'm a linux user, but as we make a lan-party here, I thought playing some nexuiz would be nice. Under Linux, I simply do a "make cl-nexuiz", but the same on windows fails:

Code: Select all

Z:\stefan\SVN\darkplaces>mingw32-make cl-nexuiz
mingw32-make bin-release \
                DP_MAKE_TARGET=mingw DP_SOUND_API=WIN \
                EXE="nexuiz.exe" LDFLAGS_COMMON="-lws2_32 -Wl,--large-address-aware -mwindows -lwinmm -luser32 -lgdi32 -
ldxguid -ldinput -lcomctl32"
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `Z:/stefan/SVN/darkplaces'
ECHO ist ausgeschaltet (OFF).
"========== nexuiz.exe (release) =========="

                LDFLAGS="-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing  -lws2_32 -Wl,--large-address-aware -mwindows -lwinmm -luser32 -lgdi32

mingw32-make[1]: *** [bin-release] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `Z:/stefan/SVN/darkplaces'
mingw32-make: *** [cl-nexuiz] Error 2

i didn't find any howto in the board, what can i do? seems that some devel-libs are missing...

Why don't you just use one of the precompiled releases?

I'm quite sure he knows about that option

Well you're missing some headers, dsound.h as it says, I bet you also need dinput.h and ddraw.h, I remember I had to copy them into my crosscompiler's /usr/include
in Psychcf's link there's a link where you can get it =)

exactly. as i build nexuiz on linux via cronjob every 4 hours, i wanted to have at least once the newest version on windows
It's quite funny to see the latest changes, so i'm building several projects by hand directly from SVN (KDE, XMoto, Xaos...) and use optimisation-flags for GCC (some are: -pipe -ffast-math -msse -msse2 -msse3) So i get some higher FPS in Nexuiz

Thank you all for the tips, I'll try everything when i have some free time (erhm, when i go to a lan) or just build it in my windows-vm from the linux-host and copy it later...

So far

Why don't you just cross-compile it using mingw if you're using a linux host? (official builds are also cross-compiled)

How do you do that? I'm running Kubuntu 99% of the time, but I do sometimes run Windows 2000. How do I compile from SVN for WIndows on a Linux host?
