Hi Caesar,

Here's a link to a very good site which contains ready-made makefiles
(for use with GCC/Mingw32/DevC++) enabling you to make you very own Crafty executables from the source code. Latest makefile is for
v1915, but it can be used with the latest source code (v1917) available
from Bob Hyatt's Crafty Site.

Sure.
Post your batch file, post the errors you get, post the location where you installed Mingw, and I will see what I can do.

Make clean backup copy of devc++ bin directory.
Put crafty source files and makefile in bin directory of devc++.
open command prompt.
cd to c:/dev-cpp/bin directory
type make
compiled crafty exe (all going well) will now reside in bin directory

Sorry, I forgot to mention,
You must comment/un-comment these lines in the makefile so it looks like this >

Code: Select all
#objects = searchr.o search.o thread.o .............................
objects = crafty.o egtb.o


It should now compile without error (you will get a few warnings but don't worry)

Jim.
