Use this method if you're using MINGW32 in command line with MSYS or in a MS-DOS console.
In the following chapters, replace ${LIBTCODDIR} by the Doryen library's root directory, and ${FLAGS} by any additional compilation flags.
For example, for a debug version, replace ${FLAGS} by -g. For a release version, replace it by -O3.
If your program's source code is in a single file, you can directly compile and link with a single command (you can put it in a .bat file for MS-DOS or a .sh file for MSYS ) :
C++ : g++ samples_cpp.cpp ${FLAGS} -Wall -o samples_cpp.exe -L${LIBTCODDIR}/lib -ltcod-mingw -I${LIBTCODDIR}/include
C : gcc samples_c.c ${FLAGS} -Wall -o samples_c.exe -L${LIBTCODDIR}/lib -ltcod-mingw -I${LIBTCODDIR}/include
If you have several source files and you don't want to recompile everything everytime, you'd better use a makefile :
If you're using the C language copy and paste this into a 'makefile' file in your source directory (replace ${LIBTCODDIR} by its real value):
SRCDIR=.
INCDIR=${LIBTCODDIR}/include
CFLAGS=$(FLAGS) -I$(INCDIR) -I$(SRCDIR) -Wall
CC=mingw32-gcc
.SUFFIXES: .o .h .c
$(TEMP)/%.o : $(SRCDIR)/%.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<
C_OBJS=$(TEMP)/samples_c.o
all : samples_c.exe
samples_c.exe : $(C_OBJS)
$(CC) $(C_OBJS) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -L${LIBTCODDIR}/lib -ltcod-mingw
clean :
\rm -f $(C_OBJS) samples_c.exe
Important! Every indented line in the makefile must begin with a tabulation, not spaces.
I won't explain the whole makefile syntax here, but basically :
List all your sources files in the C_OBJS variable with a space between each name. You can use a multiline provided you put a backslash at the end of the line and a tabulation as the first character of the new line. Exemple :
If your have 5 source files : file1.c, file2.c, file3.c, file4.c and file5.c :
C_OBJS=$(TEMP)/file1.o $(TEMP)/file2.o \
$(TEMP)/file3.o $(TEMP)/file4.o \
$(TEMP)/file5.o
Also replace samples_c.exe by your program name.
Now you can build your exe by running this command :
make
You can rebuild the whole program with :
make clean all
You can choose to build either the debug or the release configuration :
debug : make FLAGS='-g' clean all
release : make FLAGS='-O3' clean all
If you're using C++, you may have .cpp file or mixed .c and .cpp files. Use this makefile instead :
SRCDIR=.
INCDIR=${LIBTCODDIR}/include
CFLAGS=$(FLAGS) -I$(INCDIR) -I$(SRCDIR) -Wall
CC=mingw32-gcc
CPP=mingw32-g++
.SUFFIXES: .o .h .c .hpp .cpp
$(TEMP)/%.o : $(SRCDIR)/%.cpp
$(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<
$(TEMP)/%.o : $(SRCDIR)/%.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ -c $<
CPP_OBJS=$(TEMP)/samples_cpp.o
all : samples_cpp.exe
samples_cpp.exe : $(CPP_OBJS)
$(CPP) $(CPP_OBJS) -o $@ -L${LIBTCODDIR}/lib -ltcod-mingw
clean :
\rm -f $(CPP_OBJS) samples_cpp.exe
List all your C and CPP source files in the CPP_OBJS variable, replace samples_cpp.exe by your program name. This makefile won't work if you have a .c and a .cpp file with the same basename (exemple myfile.c and myfile.cpp). You'll have to rename at least one of them.
Lastly, to run your program, libtcod-mingw.dll and SDL.dll must be in the same directory.
