Re: [Adonthell-general] Windows binary

[Alexandre Courbot]

Sorry for having been so long to reply Sacha, here are some informations
on how I compile Adonthell for Windows:

Actually I always do cross-compilation from Linux using mingw32. I've
cross-compiled my own SDL, Python, Ogg Vorbis and any library Adonthell
needs. That's why it would be quite hard and time expensive to
reproduce, but who cares - the Windows philosophy makes that no user
will ever require to compile Adonthell for this platform.

My configure line is:
/home/alex/prog/adonthell/adonthell-cvs/configure
--host=i586-pc-mingw32msvc --disable-nls
--with-sdl-prefix=/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc
--with-py-cflags=-I/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc/include/python22
--with-py-libs="-L/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc/lib -lpython22"
--with-ft-prefix="/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc"
--with-ogg=/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc
--with-vorbis=/usr/local/i586-mingw32msvc
--enable-py-debug

Well, this is adapted to my environment, as I do cross-compiling. But
I'm sure that using Windows' mingw32 this would work as well, provided
you have the correct libraries compiled and installed.

So I am kind of the "official" Windows binaries maintainer (scary, when
you know what kind of GNU/Linux integrist I am ;)). As Kai mentioned,
the releases won't compile. If you want to compile it yourself, you'll
need the CVS version. But official binaries will soon be available, it's
only a matter of days (weeks). The Windows port by itself works quite
satisfactorily, and should be ready for release.

Alex.
