1FCE Ultra was developed with gcc and GNU make in mind. MSVC will probably
2compile the Windows source code with a few modifications, but you'll still
3need to make a project file.
4
5Several pre-made makefiles are provided:
6 Makefile.beos - BeOS(with SDL and SDL_net)
7 Makefile.unixsdl - UN*X(FreeBSD/Linux/etc, with SDL)
8 Makefile.linuxvga - Linux(with svgalib)
9 Makefile.dos - (MS/PC/DR) DOS
10 Makefile.win - MS Windows 9x/Me/Xp/2000/etc.(with DirectX).
11
12If you want to use Makefile.beos or Makefile.unixsdl for a cpu type other
13than 80x86, you will need to remove "-DC80x86" from the defines line
14and also remove "-DLSB_FIRST" if your target cpu uses MSB first ordering.
15You'll also need to remove/change "-mcpu=xxx".
16
17For the Windows port, I use MINGW32. http://www.mingw.org

19To compile the DOS port, you'll need to download the DJGPP package.
20Any version of gcc >=2.95.3 should compile the code without changes, BUT
21the DJGPP versions of gcc have some problems:
22 gcc 2.95.3 sometimes breaks when compiling the code. gcc 3.0.2 seems to
23 produce bad code for sound.c. So, I recommend using gcc 3.0.4 for
24 compiling the DOS version.
25
26Modifying the "-mcpu=i686" string in the makefiles, to optimize more effectively
27for your cpu type, is a good idea.
28
29Always do a "make -f Makefile.<platform> clean" before compiling for a
30different platform or if you update via cvs and if you have stale object
31files lying around.
