Compiling Exult with Open Watcom

Post by Korianous »

Hey Guys,

I am a newbie to using C++ and programming. I am interested in developing Exult though. What I was wondering is, how do I get everything set up and running.

I am using Open Watcom C++. I d'led the source code. Unfortunately I dont really know how to use everything or what needs to be done? How do I get started? I'd appreciate the help. Thanks

Hmm,
openwatcom....

nobody has really tested that. We only build with g++ (Gnu C++), MSVC and I guess mingw.

You're free to try, although I believe OpenWatcom's support for templates is not too hot, and Exult uses them...
