| − | + | This document assumes that you want to use MSYS in order to parse the Windows-based makefile and compile with MinGW. If you don't want to bother downloading an IDE, you've come to the right place. | |

| − | + | ==Step 1: Getting MSYS== | |
| − | + | You can download Code::Blocks from its website here: [http://www.codeblocks.org/ MinGW - Minimal SYStem]. It doesn't matter where you install MSYS, but be sure and add MSYS's /bin/ directory to your $PATH$ environment variables, which you can find in System Properties -> Advanced. | |

| − | + | ==Step 2: Setting up the Compiler== | |
| − | * | + | You need the latest version of MinGW from [http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml this website]. You need the latest stable versions of the following packages... |
| − | * | + | * mingw-runtime |
| − | * | + | * mingw32-make |
| − | + | * w32api | |
| − | + | * binutils | |
| − | + | * gcc | |
| − | + | * g++ | |
| + | |||
| + | Download all of them and extract them to C:\mingw. If you're using Windows and don't have an archiver capable of handling tar.gz files, stop living in the stone age and download [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip]. If you are compiling ODAMEX for the purpose of debugging, grab gdb as well. | ||

- Untar <b>ALL MinGW</b> files from the archives you just downloaded into a single directory, then right click on <i>My Computer->Properties->Go to Advanced Tab->Environment Variables->System Variables</i> and scroll down till you find the Path variable, click edit and add the following line:<BR> | - Untar <b>ALL MinGW</b> files from the archives you just downloaded into a single directory, then right click on <i>My Computer->Properties->Go to Advanced Tab->Environment Variables->System Variables</i> and scroll down till you find the Path variable, click edit and add the following line:<BR> | ||
