Compiling zdoom

Did you add c:\mingw\bin to your path? If not, you also need to type this before making:

set PATH=c:\mingw\bin;%PATH%

I haven't been working with this for a while but here is the problem I get now. I set the os to windows_nt and then i set the path to what randy posted above and then i typed mingew32-make and here is what i got:

Code: Select all

MINGW3~6.EXE[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Doom/zdoom source/zdoom/trunk/tools/lemon'
Linking lemon.exe...ccdv: CreateThread: The parameter is incorrect.

gcc -s -o lemon.exe lemon.o

And then it seems to just hang on the next line.

I also tried compiling zdoom but it fails, I think randy forgot to include a nasm compiler here.

Hmm.... Strange, I got 2.50mb, not sure why I got a bigger file size, probably because I use nasm by djgpp.

Just curious, what IDE are you using in this randy?

The GCC-compiled version being larger than the Visual C++ version is normal. My zdoomgcc.exe is 2,708,480 bytes large.

I use Visual Studio as my IDE. To compile with GCC, I just use a regular command line.

I should investigate compiling under Windows 95 myself. Visual C++ 2002/2003/2005 only work with Windows 2000+, and the GCC linker command line is too long for command.com to handle on 95/98/ME. MSYS might work.

I added instructions for building with MinGW to the Compile ZDoom on Windows page of the wiki. (Should this be split into two pages? I'll let someone else decide.)
