Customizing Home Capacity.

If you are using mingw and not cygwin, use make -f Makefile.win MINGW=true.

Yeah, but then I'm told 'make' isn't recognized. Cygwin does the same thing.

mingw32-make instead of make?

Oh wow it looks like that works. Thank you so much for your help.

EDIT: Well it looked like it was working but now I have far too many error messages to post here.

Sounds exactly like my first try with mingw. I got it to work somehow but that's so long ago that I don't remember what was the problem and how I solved it. Something to do with path lengths IIRC.

I use cygwin now. Or at least I used to, I don't have it in my new computer. Anyway, I did find cygwin much easier to use than mingw.

[EDIT] Thangorodrim compile instructions can be useful to you:

http://www.thangorodrim.net/compiling.html

[EDIT EDIT]

Reading those...not so useful after all. makefile.cyg doesn't even exist anymore. Makefile.win might work though (I haven't compiled my own version for ages now).

[Zappa]

thanks for your help anyway. this might be beyond my abilities.

Would this help anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Would this help anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

My best guess is that it's some 32- vs 64-bit issue, but I'm not sure what. Here is a similar problem someone had recently with NPPAngband. Sorry to be of so little help.
