compile lastest codes in vc2008 32bit-win7 is wrong

rader.wang · March 31, 2013, 20:17

i know this problem is common ,but my situation is unique...

first.
my computer is 32 bit win7 system.
i get the lastest code version
by git clone https://github.com/angband/angband.git

second.
i compiled the codes follow the guide of http://rephial.org/wiki/Compiling#s2_5,

so i do as follow:

Windows + Visual C++

Get and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express edition.
Start the Visual Studio 2008 command prompt and change to the source directory of angband (e.g. C:\angband-3.1.0beta\src\)
Compile with nmake /fMakefile.nmake.

but the command prompt show that :
Makefile.src(171) : fatal error U1036: 语法错误 : “=”左边的名称太多
Stop.

my english is poor, could you please tell me how to solve this problem?
thank you.

by the way,
1.
i can compile the codes in ubuntu on vmware.
2.
can you tell me what IDE do you use to debug our angband codes?
can someone upload some videos telling how to develope the angband?

I'm afraid the compilation instructions on rephial are out of date. The latest instructions are in src/win/ I think. I'm afraid I'm not a Windows player so I can't help, but plenty of people can.

Try using mingw/msys. Once you have those installed, the instructions on the compiling page should work.

I find msys better than cygwin.

I just tested this, and it worked for me:

Download the mingw/msys installer
Run the installer; it will create a MinGW folder
Unzip angband into the MinGW\msys\1.0\home\<username>\angband folder
Run msys.bat (in the MinGW\msys\1.0 folder)
At the $ prompt in the msys window, cd into angband/src
make -f Makefile.win MINGW=yes

The angband folder should now contain angband.exe, which you can run.

Oh, did they finally get the whole make vs. mingw32-make issue sorted out?
