How do I compile the client on WinXP using MinGW?

We simply don't have it.

If mingw on Win32 is any similar to mingw on Linux (and it should be), the included Makefile should work out of the box. We also got reports of people building it on Dev-C++, which is an IDE using mingw.

Can you try posting the errors you get? Also, don't use spaces in folder names

I've created directories just to avoid paths with spaces in them.

Well its some time since i really used that mingw installation to compile the engine and i never bothered to install all that SDL stuff so i just could compile nexuiz.exe but i basicly installed msys and mingw and did this from a cmd.exe:

pushd "PATH\TO\\darkplaces"
PATH=c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\MinGW\bin;c:\MinGW\mingw32\bin;%PATH%
make DP_MAKE_TARGET=mingw cl-release

simply works well maybe it does help..

FUCKING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

I finally managed to compile it... I'll try to summarize all the steps and post a thread with instructions later.

Heh glad to hear you were successful. If you also manage the compile the sdl stuff post how to.. In linux it just works

Out of masochistic curiosity, how would I do that?

You go to www.libsdl.org
Under download you click SDL-1.2
There you select SDL-devel-1.2.12-mingw32.tar.gz
Or you simply use this direct link XD http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel ... w32.tar.gz

hrhr

Then you put the header files into your include directory, so that in there you have SDL/SDL.h SDL/SDL_***.h etc.
the libs into your library dir

and then `make sdl-release` should work, I guess :>
