Updated: Apr 2007 Compiling tbaMUD under Microsoft Windows There are a number of different compilers available for Microsoft Windows that can be used to compile tbaMUD. Each compiler works differently, so each compiler has a different set of instructions. We currently have instructions for using the following compilers: 1. Cygnus CYGWIN (Formerly Cygnus GNU-Win32). This is a FREE compiler for Microsoft Windows! If you don't own a compiler, you can just download this one off the net and get tbaMUD up and running in no time. Read the file README.CYGWIN. 2. Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.x -- read the file README.MSVC4. 3. Microsoft Visual C++ version 5.x -- read the file README.MSVC5. 4. Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.x -- read the file README.MSVC6. 5. Microsoft Visual C++ version 8.x -- read the file README.MSVC8. This is also called Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and the express edition is free and can be downloaded from Microsoft. 6. Borland C++ -- read the file README.BORLAND 7. Watcom C++ v.11 -- read the file README.WATCOM It should be possible to compile tbaMUD using other compilers that are not listed here, or other versions of these compilers -- as long as they support long filenames, etc. However, we don't have instructions handy for those compilers. Feel free to submit your own. Have fun! For help, check out http://www.cwg.lazuras.org Originally written by: Jeremy Elson
