I had zero luck with the included makefile, these are the steps I used to compile
This does edit 3 source files:
1st hotload.c I had to change line 56 (would not compile without changing)
| int babel_hotload(char *tdir, char *cdir, load_treaty hdlr, void *tctx, void *cctx) | to | int main(char *tdir, char *cdir, load_treaty hdlr, void *tctx, void *cctx) |
|---|
The other 2 files are treaty.h & babel.h, only updated the version info
| Version 0.5, Treaty of Babel Revision 10 | to | Version 0.6, Treaty of Babel Revision 11 |
|---|
These commands will download the source files, install needed compilers, compile the perl files to exe and compile C files to EXE, place a zip file called babel_suite_win32.zip with all the EXE files on the Desktop
