Ya... I was wondering how to compile the source into an exe... Sorta confusing to me...

As usual, the good stuff is already on the wiki:

Oh. Thanks Z-man, i was searching for the wrong names.

I decided to compile on one of my linux machines... There are a few option things that I need to know, though... How would you make a windows dedicated EXE w/ authentication? I know that --enable-authentication gives the auth, but that's pretty much all. It doesn't talk much about this on the wiki...

--disable-glout makes it a dedicated server.

or --enable-dedicated on a recent tree from 0.2.8

k. How about making it into a windows dedicated, though?

From Linux, that is simply not possible.

(Well, it is possible, you have to cross compile. But nobody has done that yet.)

I could be the first, but i've never cross-compiled b4... soo....

EDIT:
Perhaps I should use wxWidgets and MinGW? It really wouldn't require many changes at all to code... I don't think...

MingW definitely, it's great for cross compilation, but, umm, wxWidgets? Why?

Infa(mous) · Post by **Infa(mous)** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 12:47 am

because... umm... it makes windows binaries out of c++? I dunno really, it's just what came to mind. If you know of something better, i'd gladly accept it.

EDIT: Do i actually need wxWidgets or anything of the sort -> Can i get away with just minGW?

No, that's for GUIs.

Well yes, but nobody managed to pass the autohell step(./bootstrap && ./configure), so you'd have work to do to make it actually work.

Next weekend i'll work on it. Hopefully i'll make it work.

Good luck, and not in a good sense.
