compile icculus for windows

[Anders Storsveen]

is it possible to compile icculus for windows? would be great to have the
same client there too, just in case.

Also I wonder if anyone know of any other quake2-projects that improve/fix
quake2, and what the differences are and why we aren't working together.

There is windows code in the archive. Its possible that it will
compile. I don't think anyone has tried for a long long time...

I think a lot of the different projects have different goals. Making
Quake2 look like Doom3 for example. My goal in the icculus port is to
make quake2 as playable and secure on linux as possible. Much of
this is linux specific (e.g. sound, mouse, joystick, OpenGL ...) and
thus of little interest to the windows folks.

There's no reason why there isn't more "togetherness" its simply that
no one has ever expressed much interest. I've certainly taken security
fixes and what not from the various windows source bases and
incorporated them into the icculus source.

If you (or anyone) get the source to compile for windows please let me
know and feel free to send a patch if you needed to make any changes.

are there any other "competing" quake2-projects that only focus on
improving the client and bugfixing, not changing the features and stuff
(like the screenshot wich had reflective water is more of a improvment and
not a change, if it doesn't make it transparent that is)

I just checked out the source from the repository and built everything
with MS Visual C++ 7.1. Some changes are necessary, although they were
surprisingly few, I must admit.
For now, I'll only give you the modified sources archived (sorry,
patch fans!). Perhaps I'll do some diffs in the morning. :)

It also builds with V C++ 6.0. Like I said before I am not a programmer,
but I do tried with 6.0 since I _presume_ it has better backwords
compatibility with systems running older version of windows. Only
ref_soft.dll appears to break with 88 errors (strange number, it means
something to some people).

88 errors sounds close to what I got. It's probably because MASM isn't
succeeding in building the asm files.I added a custom build step to
all of the .asm files in the ref_soft project, but that's only in the
MSVC 7.1 project file. It builds just fine this way.

I have updated the ref_soft project files so the assembler does its
job for both MSVC 6 and 7 (all configurations). I updated the archive
I posted last night, but attached are only the modified project files.

I've just finished making the patches. The original CVS snapspot I put
in a directory called "original" (original, isn't it?), and my
modified source in "win32patch".
It's a unified diff, and running patch as follows works fine for me:

patch --unified -p1 < <diff.file>

Sigurdur,

If you wanna add this icon to the resources, so that the ugly default
icon gets replaced, it goes in attach.
Dunno is if it will get striped off the email, so also here goes the link:

http://clientes.netvisao.pt/nmarques/q2_icon.zip

I saved it as 24bit PNG with transparency, if you want any other file
format, let me know.

Good work,
nmarques
