This document is written for Debian and Ubuntu users. The process should be similar for other distributions, but installing the prerequisites will most likely be different.

Step 1: Installing and configuring the prerequisites
In order to build Windows binaries, you'll need MinGW, SDL, and SDL_mixer. This tutorial also assumes you're building the latest revision, so you'll need Subversion.
Subversion and MinGW are in the repositories, so to install them, type:
sudo apt-get install mingw32 subversion
Odamex expects the g++ compiler to be named mingw32-g++, create a link:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-g++ /usr/bin/mingw32-g++
Download SDL and SDL_mixer:
wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.13-mingw32.tar.gz wget http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.13-win32.zip wget http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release/SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.8-VC8.zip
Extract the archives:
tar zxvf SDL-devel-1.2.13-mingw32.tar.gz unzip SDL-1.2.13-win32.zip SDL.dll -d SDL-1.2.13/lib/ unzip SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.8-VC8.zip
The sdl-config utility needs to be modified to contain the correct prefix:
mv SDL-1.2.13/bin/sdl-config SDL-1.2.13/bin/sdl-config.bak
cat SDL-1.2.13/bin/sdl-config.bak | \
sed 's/\/Users\/hercules\/tmp\/SDL-1.2.13/\/usr\/i586-mingw32msvc/' \
> SDL-1.2.13/bin/sdl-config
chmod +x SDL-1.2.13/bin/sdl-config
Move the files where they belong:
sudo mv SDL-1.2.13/bin/sdl-config /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ sudo mv SDL-1.2.13/include/SDL/* /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/ sudo mv SDL-1.2.13/lib/* /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/ sudo mv SDL_mixer-1.2.8/include/* /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/ sudo mv SDL_mixer-1.2.8/lib/* /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/
You don't need the archives or what's left of their contents anymore. Delete them:
rm -rf SDL-1.2.13 SDL_mixer-1.2.8 SDL-devel-1.2.13-mingw32.tar.gz \
SDL-1.2.13-win32.zip SDL_mixer-devel-1.2.8-VC8.zip
Step 2: Downloading the source
Use Subversion to check out a copy of the source:
svn co http://odamex.net/svn/root/trunk odamex-win32
Change to the source directory:
cd odamex-win32
Step 3: Compiling
Add the MinGW bin directory to your PATH so that the correct sdl-config is used:
PATH="/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH"
And compile:
make -f Makefile.win
Step 4: Installing
The exe files are in the bin directory. A few more files are still needed to run in Windows. Copy them there:
cp /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/SDL.dll /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/SDL_mixer.dll \
README odamex.wad odasrv.cfg bin/
You're all done! Copy the bin directory to a Windows machine and enjoy.
