RE: Gnu Backgammon Compiling for Windows

[Ian Shaw]

If all you want to do is install the gnubg software and use it, it can be 
downloaded here https://gnu-backgammon.en.softonic.com/ 

If you want to experiment with the code, then you'll need Jon's instructions.

Subject: Gnu Backgammon Compiling for Windows

Hello,

I am curious how I may compile GnuBG for Windows 7. In particular I would like 
to be able to do so for the console version of the program ( gnubg-cli.exe ).

I have downloaded the source

gnubg-release-1.06.002-sources.tar.gz

but I cannot see any instructions for compiling on Windows. The documentation 
on your web site tells me that I will find the instructions at

http://www.gnubg.org/index.php?itemid=50

but this page gives me a 404 error code. I found another page on your web site 
which says I need batch files gnubg3D.bat and/or gnubgOld.bat. 
But I cannot see these in the downloaded source, or any other BAT file. 
So I am puzzled. I would be grateful if you could fix the broken link and let 
me ( and others ) know how to compile GnuBG.

Thanks,

Dariusz Stachowski
