This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's
|
||||||
|
puzzle collection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should find several Makefiles in the source code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `Makefile.gtk' should work under GNU make on Linux, provided you
|
||||||
|
have GTK installed to compile and link against. It builds GTK
|
||||||
|
binaries of the puzzle games.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `Makefile.vc' should work under MS Visual C++ on Windows.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `Makefile.cyg' should work under Cygwin / MinGW. With appropriate
|
||||||
|
tweaks and setting of TOOLPATH, it should work for both compiling
|
||||||
|
on Windows and cross-compiling on Unix.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each of these Makefiles builds a program called `nullgame' in
|
||||||
|
addition to the actual game binaries. This program doesn't do
|
||||||
|
anything; it's just a template for people to start from when adding
|
||||||
|
a new game to the collection, and it's compiled every time to ensure
|
||||||
|
that it _does_ compile and link successfully (because otherwise it
|
||||||
|
wouldn't be much use as a template). Once it's built, you can run it
|
||||||
|
if you really want to (but it's very boring), and then you should
|
||||||
|
ignore it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DO NOT EDIT THE MAKEFILES DIRECTLY, if you plan to send any changes
|
||||||
|
back to the maintainer. The makefiles are generated automatically by
|
||||||
|
the Perl script `mkfiles.pl' from the file `Recipe'. If you need to
|
||||||
|
change the makefiles as part of a patch, you should change Recipe
|
||||||
|
and/or mkfiles.pl.
