GNU Go Documentation

2.3.4 Windows NT, Windows 95/98 using Visual C and project files

We assume that you do not want to change any configure options. If you do, you should edit the file `config.vc'. Note that when configure is run, this file is overwritten with the contents of `config.vcin', so you may also want to edit `config.vcin', though the instructions below do not have you running configure.

1. Open the VC++ 6 workspace file gnugo.dsw
2. Set the gnugo project as the active project (right-click on it, and select "Set as Active Project". Select 'Build' from the main menu, then select 'Build gnugo.exe', this will make all of the runtime subprojects.

Notes:

• a) The build can also be done from the command line:

  msdev gnugo.dsw /make "gnugo - Win32 Release"

• b) The default configuration is 'Debug', build the optimized version by selecting 'Build' from the main menu , then select 'Set active Configuration' and click on 'gnugo - Win32 Release'. See the Visual Studio help for more on project configurations.
• c) A custom build step in the first dependent subproject (utils) copys config.vc to config.h in the root directory. If you want to modify config.h, copy any changes to config.vc. In particular if you want to change the default level or default cache size, whose significance is discussed in See section 2.1 GNU/Linux and Unix, you must edit this file.
• d) This project was built and tested using VC version 6.0. It has not been tested, and will most likely not work with earlier versions of VC.
• e) If for any reason some or all of the automatically built files in the patterns directory do not build you can run mkpat on the command line to make these files. For reference here are the recommended mkpat options:
