Trying to compile your app, I went back to the mingw env. and maybe its more approachable than I thought in the past. But. I am finding compiling difficult.
'Nothing to be done for makefile' (it says). Well , I think there Is something to be done , for makefile. But I'm not finding a way.
Ok, this is not the topic about compiling, but can s.o help?
Btw, my mingw is in c:\mingw.. Where should I preferably put the hexed trunk?
And the INSTALL_PATH..? Is the path command from windows cmd, or is it from mingw environment?
To start with download the latest source code from sourceforge (rev: 6). These have been updated to automatically use Msys settings and to set INSTALL_DIR to install to c:\apps\hexed (c:\Program Files is protected on newer version on Windows). The PATH variable is part of Windows, do a search on google to learn how to set this.
Put the source (trunk) into something like c:\src\hexed then run make from this directory. The hexed makefile will create the necesary directories and build the objects to c:\src\hexed\obj and the binary to c:\src\hexed\bin.
Run this command from c:\src\hexed (if trunk exists run it from c:\src\hexed\trunk)
Code:
make install
This is the complete build.
If you get an error like this:
Code:
make: uname: Command not found
Makefile:39: *** Binutils is required to compile this app. Stop.
You will need to set the Msys\bin directory in your Windows PATH environment.
Let me know how this works out.
Thanks,
