How to build

Introduction

Pafish is built using mingw-w64 and make, follow the instructions to install these tools in your platform. Visit the official mingw-w64 website for additional documentation.

Compiling on Windows

For compiling on Windows, Cygwin is recommended. It will setup an Unix-like environment with a package manager to install only selected software.

During the installation, select the packages make, mingw64-i686-gcc-core and mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core.

Then run Cygwin Terminal, move to the project directory and compile it use the following commands:

Alberto@Alberto-PC /cygdrive/f/pafish
$ cd pafish/

Alberto@Alberto-PC /cygdrive/f/pafish/pafish
$ make -f Makefile.linux

[...]

Alberto@Alberto-PC /cygdrive/f/pafish/pafish
$ ls Output/MingW/
pafish.exe

Compiling on GNU/Linux

To compile on a Debian based distribution (Ubuntu, Mint, ...), install the required packages executing:

sudo apt-get install make mingw-w64

To compile on a Red Hat like distribution (Fedora, CentOS, ...):

sudo yum install make mingw32-gcc mingw64-gcc

To compile on Arch Linux:

pacman -S make mingw-w64-gcc

Then compile using the following commands:

$ cd pafish/
$ make -f Makefile.linux
[...]
$ ls Output/MingW/
pafish.exe
