How to compile
Inside your MSYS & MinGW32 environment jump into the x.yy_My_PuTTY\windows directory then run the command:
make -f MAKEFILE.MINGW putty.exe
How to install the MSYS/MinGW32 environment
Simple guide to setup the compile environment:
- Download the
mingw-builds-install.exefrom https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.8.0/32-bit/ - Execute the installer and select the GUI.
- After installing it, only the "packager manager" it's in fact installed, so execute
$MinGW\libexec\mingw-get\guimain.exeand select in the Basic Setup the packages: "mingwg-developer-tools", "mingw32-base", "mingw32-gcc-g++" and "msys-base". - When all is installed, to open the SHELL execute
$MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat. Then from from this shell you can compile. Example:cd $KiTTY_DIR/0.70_My_PuTTY/windowsandmake -f MAKEFILE.MINGW 9bis.
