Compiling [Tutorial] Compiling newest CVS(C++ version)

You'll need glfw and gmp libraries and headers.

Compiling under Dev-Cpp

File->New->Project...

Click on windows application, change name and then click ok.

After saving delete main.cpp form project.

Now add all .cpp and .h files from OTclient directory.

Project->Options->Parameters

to linker add following libraries:

libglfw.a
libglu32.a
libopengl32.a
libwsock32.a

Rebuild all and run. glfw.dll and gmp.dll libraries should be in project directory.

That's all

Micorosoft Visual C++

Microsoft gave big present for us. They Visual Studio Express is free. You can get it there:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

You'll also need some headers from Platform SDK, which you can find there:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Visual c++ might not find headers form Platform SDK, if it happens, go to your Visual c++ directory, then to 'VC' directory and make PlatformSDK folder. Copy 'Bin', 'Include' and 'Lib' form 'real' PlatformSDK directory to 'VC/PlatformSDK'.

Run VC.

Then go to 'File->New->Project' and chose empty project. Name as you want.

To header files add all '.h' files, to source files add all '.cpp' files.

Then go to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Command Line and in 'Additional Options' add:

/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup

Additional options:

I set Link Time Code generation in Linker->Optimization

and c/c++->Optimization optimization to Full Optimization and Whole Program Optimization to Enable link-time code generation.

That's all.

It's looking a bit thin, you should explain more and tell where to get the programs and stuff. But I guess this isn't a tutorial for newbies
