This page explains how to compile Globulation 2 on windows using [http://www.mingw.org/ mingw].

Note: Globulation 2 does not compile with mingw gcc versions 3.2.3, 2.95.3-8 and 3.4.2. But don't worry, gcc version 3.3.1 works and is included in glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2.

==Setting up mingw==

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">(Warning! For the first 3 steps, all install directories must be the exact same. Do not use spaces or capitals for the installation directory. For this guide, we will use the default c:\mingw)</td></tr></table>

:*Download and install [http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe] into the directory c:\mingw.

:*Next, download and install [http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download MSYS-1.0.10.exe] in the same directory as MinGW (c:\mingw). At the end of the installation, it will ask you if you want to continue with the post-install. Select yes, and yes again when it ask if you have mingw installed. When it ask you to indicate the directory where it is installed, type in c:/mingw (yes, with a forward slash as the program prefers it that way).

:*And lastly, download and install [http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?download msysDTK-1.0.1.exe] in the same directory as mingw and msys (c:\mingw)

==Compiling Prerequisites==

:*Download glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 from http://globulation2.org/dev/glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 and put them in the home directory of mingw (c:\mingw\home\XXX\ where XXX is the username)

:*Double click the MSYS icon that has been placed on your desktop during MSYS's installation.

:*Go in the directory where you put the glob2_required_libs_mingw.tar.bz2 (for example cd ~) and untar the libraries like this :

:*Download boost c++ precompiled libraries :

:*Manually install boost c++ with the following commands:

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">tar zxf boost-1.33.1-mingw-bin.tar.gz</td></tr></table>

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">mv boost/include/boost-1_33_1/boost /usr/include && mv boost/lib/* /usr/lib</td></tr></table>

:*To allow the important command "make" to run, use the following command:

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">mv /usr/bin/mingw32-make.exe /usr/bin/make.exe</td></tr></table>

==Compiling Globulation 2==

===Compiling from released source code===

:*Download and extract the release to c:\mingw\home\XXX\ (where XXX is the username), then run:

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">mv glob2-0.8.19 glob2_release</td></tr></table>

:*Download Globulation 2 from cvs (as anonymous for example):

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">export CVS_RSH="ssh" && cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/glob2 co glob2</td></tr></table>

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">mv glob2 glob2_cvs</td></tr></table>

:*In order for compiling to work properly, run the following commands:

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">cd glob2_release</td></tr></table>

: (note there is a . at the end of this command)

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">cp /usr/bin/SDL.dll /usr/bin/libvorbis-0.dll /usr/bin/libogg-0.dll /usr/bin/libvorbisenc-2.dll /usr/bin/libfreetype-6.dll .</td></tr></table>

:*Open glob2_release/configure.in and find:

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $SDL_CFLAGS"</td></tr></table>

::and replace with:

:*Now to start compiling globulation 2. Don't worry about the warnings. If something is wrong, it will grind to a halt and it will let you know why:

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">./bootstrap && ./configure && make</td></tr></table>

:*To make the executable smaller in size, run the following command:

==Testing Globulation 2 on windows==

:*Download glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2

::<table width="90%"><tr valign="top"><td style="border: 1px dashed #000000; padding: .3em .9em .3em; color: #000000; background-color: #F8F8FF">wget http://globulation2.org/dev/glob2_windows_runtime.tar.bz2</td></tr></table>

:*Copy the folders data/, maps/, and campaigns/ and the file AUTHORS to glob2_runtime/, overwriting any existing files

:*Copy glob2.exe which is in the src directory (glob2/src/) to glob2_runtime/

:*Run glob2.exe from the glob2_runtime directory and play :)
