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.
