Hi Nardy,

It worked at home under Win95, too.

This is/was not necessary for compiling.

For running the program I had to copy \MinGW\bin\gdbm.dll,
\MinGW\bin\libiconv.dll and \MinGW\bin\libintl.dll to the game install
directory. The remaining libraries should be there already from Oystein's
setup.

I don't know whether it's better to copy \MinGW\lib\libintl-1.dll. But then
it's necessary to rename the file to libintl.dll in the game install
directory.

One gtk entry of your includes is not necessary. This is what I have now:
INCLUDE = -I. -I./lib \
          -I/MinGW/lib/gtk+/include \
          -I/MinGW/lib/glib-2.0/include \
          -I/MinGW/include/glib-2.0 \
          -I/MinGW/include/libxml2

Btw, Oystein seems to compile with -O2, you with -Os. I'll have to look up
the difference. I didn't download the manual yet.

Why don't you use the following instead of hard-setting the path in the
batch file?
set PATH=J:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
