Wondering if there is a howto for/on Windows ?

[ArfyFR]

I tried it !
I downloaded and installer http://www.openwatcom.org/download.php

Open a CMD.exe
Setup the ENV:
..\..\WATCOM\owsetenv.bat
Copy the
rev.c.in
to
rev.c

Modified the line 39
const uint8 g_opendune_revision_modified = !!MODIFIED!!;
to
const uint8 g_opendune_revision_modified = 0;

then in same CMD.exe wccbuild.bat.
=> OK bin\opendune.exe created
I copied as asked the original Dune2 1.07 data files (including dune2.exe) to data/.
But launching it yelds:
Not compatible ...

I also tried to launch the DOS4G provided in Watcom ... same result.

So, installed DOS2BOX
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/
mount the drive where I compiled it (opendune and watcom should be on same drive)
typed

cd OPENDU~1\BIN
<pathTo>\DOS4GW.EXE OPENDUNE.EXE

And there it is =)

For windows you can use gcc or MSVC to build a native version. wccbuild.bat (and Watcom) is to build a DOS version.

washed his eyes
Ok found the "projects" directory with Visual C++ solutions ;)

Perhaps update the README with it ;)

the first line of wccbuild.bat states it is for building under DOS.

however, maybe we should add a small building documentation

@ArfyFR you built for DOS successfully, maybe you should write compiling instructions for it. I'm not sure I will be able to do it again myself.

The watcom build was more like a proof of concept ;)

You mean rewrite my first post #336 (comment) ?

You we should write that in a .txt file somewhere :)
