*** no rule to make target

[JDTAY]

More like no rule to make sense.

Plz help.

*looks into the crystal ball* I suppose you need to issue

./autoconfig.sh
./configure

before trying the make.

[JDTAY]

I can't get that to work. However, I am making progress. Using
mingw32-make -C C:\stuff\angband-3.0.9b\src -f C:\stuff\angband-3.0.9b\src\makefile.win
I now get cannot exec 'cc1': No such file or directory

[Pete Mack]

Do you have the mingw bin directory in your PATH?

You should be able to run mingw32-make directly from the angband src directory.

Pete Mack: Bad command or file name

Are you just trying to compile on the Windows command line? If so, I would recommend installing MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS), a simple unix-like command environment.

Marble Dice: Damn, it almost worked. It was compiling for like two minutes, but then it stopped 'cause it couldn't find readdib.o.

I think someone else complained about this: there is some Windows compiler that doesn't like source/object files in subdirs, and assumes everything's in a flat structure. Sorry - I know that's not much help - I don't build on Windows.

Try sticking "MINGW=yes" on the end of your command line.

Nick: It worked! Get ready for JDband Probationary Alpha 0.0.0~1! In like 3 months. 30 if I get a PS3.
