Installation

1. MinGW 1.1
Unpack MinGW 1.1 with 7-zip into C:\mingw
( IF you opt for a DIFFERENT DRIVE(letter), see IMPORTANT down under )

-----------------

2. SF packages (unpack with 7-zip into c:\mingw)
iconv bin
iconv lib
xml2 bin
xml2 lib
gdm bin
gdbm lib
libintl

-----------------

3. G packages (unpack with 7-zip into c:\mingw)
gtk+ 1.3
gtk+ 1.3 dev
glib 2.0
glib 2.0 dev
libintl (yep, second time this one. 'overwrite?' YES)

====================================================================

Fetch the GNU Backgammon sources

Either download the daily Snapshot:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnubg/snapshots/

or use the CVS repository:
Look for "Anonymous CVS access" at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnubg/gnubg.html

Unpack or CVS the GNU Backgammon sources to [dir]\gnubg
(whatever directory, e.g.: C:\gnubg)

====================================================================

Copy DLLs (only needed once)

Copy DLLs into [dir]\gnubg

libiconv.dll (from c:\mingw\lib)
libglib-2.0-0.dll (from c:\mingw\lib)
libintl-1.dll (from c:\mingw\lib)

-----------------

Copy gdbm.dll into [installed dir of GNU Backgammon]
gdbm.dll (from c:\mingw\bin)

====================================================================

Download Makefile, lib\Makefile and config.gui
Makefile (download to [dir]\gnubg):
http://users.skynet.be/bk228456/Makefile

lib/Makefile (download to [dir]\gnubg\lib):
http://users.skynet.be/bk228456/lib/Makefile

config.gui (download to [dir]\gnubg):
http://users.skynet.be/bk228456/config.gui

nardy.bat (download to [dir]\gnubg):
http://users.skynet.be/bk228456/nardy.bat

-----------------

IMPORTANT:
If you did NOT unpack MinGW into C:\mingw, you will have to adapt nardy.bat.
Change occurences of C:\mingw into drive(letter):\mingw.
(and maybe you have to change c:\windows and c:\windows\system too)
====================================================================

Compiling a new build

Get the latest Snapshot and unpack to your [dir]\gnubg
or Check Out / Update if using CVS

Open a DOS Window and go to [dir]\gnubg
To do so, type in the DOS Window:
cd c: {ENTER}
cd gnubg {ENTER}
nardy {ENTER}

(change 'c:' and 'gnubg' if you opted for another [dir]\gnubg)

gnubg.exe will be build.
rename gnubg.exe to gnubg-yymmdd.exe and copy to the folder of your
installed GNU Backgammon for Windows.

============================================================================
=============

Final remark....
You need to install GNU Backgammon for Windows first :-)
