PWMAngband source (Tangaria’s game engine) comes with several batch files that actually do the job.

First you need to decide which version of Borland C++ builder you would use. Makefiles are only compatible with Borland (you can use Visual Studio, but you would need your own makefiles). There are two different options:

1) Borland C++ Compiler 7.x (bcc32c)
// won’t work for initial SDL compilation! Use Borland 6 for it (in case you need it, as pre-compiled SDL included in src)

run .bat files in PWMAngband\src\bcc32c

Libraries (WIN client)

Shortcut: all libs archives in one place

1. After you’ve installed the Borland command line compiler – you must download libraries and compile them.
2. Download and unzip ZLIB 1.2.11 in the same root directory as your \PWMAngband folder (not inside of PWMAngband folder, but in ../ folder!)
3. Copy \PWMAngband\src\bcc32c\Makefile.zlib into \zlib-1.2.11\win32
4. Download and unzip LIBPNG 1.6.37 in the same root directory as your \PWMAngband folder
5. Copy \PWMAngband\src\bcc32c\Makefile.libpng into \lpng1637\scripts
6. Run \PWMAngband\src\WIN.bat. This will generate the ZLIB and LIBPNG libraries.

2) Borland C++ Compiler 6 (bcc32)
// works for initial SDL compilation 😉

Attention! BCC 5 / 5.5 doesn’t work! Only 6 version.

run .bat files inside of PWMAngband\src folder

Libraries (WIN client)

1. After you’ve installed Borland command line compiler (one of 2 variants above 5.x or 7.x version) – you must download libraries and compile them.
2. Download and unzip ZLIB 1.2.11 in the same root directory as your \PWMAngband folder (not inside of PWMAngband folder, but in ../ folder!)
3. Download and unzip LIBPNG 1.6.37 in the same root directory as your \PWMAngband folder
4. In lpng1637 folder – replace the pngwrite.c file with the one from the \PWMAngband\src\fix folder to fix a linker error
5. Edit makefile.bc32 in the lpng1637\scripts directory:

   ZLIB_DIR=..\zlib-1.2.11

6. Run \PWMAngband\src\WIN.bat. This will generate the ZLIB and LIBPNG libraries.

Libraries (SDL client)

Prerequisite: Build the static libraries libpng.lib and zlib.lib (see previous paragraph).

1. Create a \SDL directory in the same root directory as your \PWMAngband folder
2. Download and unzip SDL 1.2.15 in the \SDL directory – so you will have there:
   \SDL\SDL-1.2.15
3. In \SDL\SDL-1.2.15\include, replace the following files with the ones from \PWMAngband\src\_SDL:

   begin_code.h
   SDL_stdinc.h

4. Download and unzip FreeType 2.10.2 in the \SDL directory
5. In \SDL\freetype-2.10.2\include\freetype\config, replace the ftconfig.h with the one in \PWMAngband\src\fix
6. Download and unzip SDL_ttf 2.0.11 in the \SDL directory
7. Download and unzip SDL_image 1.2.12 in the \SDL directory
8. Download and unzip MAD 0.15.1b in the \SDL directory
9. In \SDL\libmad-0.15.1b, replace layer3.c with the one in \PWMAngband\src\fix to remove compile errors
10. Download and unzip SDL_mixer 1.2.12 in the \SDL directory
11. In \SDL\SDL_mixer-1.2.12\VisualC\external\include\vorbis\, replace vorbisfile.h with the one in \PWMAngband\src\fix
12. Run \PWMAngband\src\SDL.bat. This will generate the SDL, FREETYPE, SDL_TTF, SDL_IMAGE, LIBMAD and SDL_MIXER libraries.

Client

To build the client: run the client.bat file in the /src directory. This will generate the mangclient_gcu.exe, mangclient_sdl.exe and mangclient.exe executable files corresponding to the GCU, SDL and WIN client.

Server

To build the server: run the server.bat file in the /src directory. This will generate the mangband.exe executable file corresponding to the server.

The clean.bat file will delete all generated binaries in case you want to recompile everything from scratch.

Setup

To build the full setup (all executables in one folder): run the setup.bat file in the /src directory. This will generate all the files required to run PWMAngband. Setup will appear in \PWMAngband\setup

The cleansetup.bat file will delete all generated files in case you want to regenerate everything from scratch.

Archive (outdated):

The easiest way is to download the free command-line tools which is a free Borland compiler version 5 and use the makefiles.

After you downloaded free command-line tools, unpack it to C:\BCC55 and:

1. Add “C:\BCC55\bin” to the Windows OS PATH
2. Create a bcc32.cfg file which will set the compiler options for the Include
and Lib paths (-I and -L switches to the compiler) by adding these lines:
-I"C:\BCC55\include"
-L"C:\BCC55\lib"
3. Create an ilink32.cfg file which will set the linker option for the Lib path by
adding this line:
-L"C:\BCC55\lib"
