How to build Previous in Windows

the usual way, add the cygwin tools and whatever else it depends on, then be hopeful, 'cause we do it all the *nix way on this forum. It might just be easier to install a linux vm and do it all in that.

I have problem with installing cygwin. Can you tell me what packages I need to install? Because I don't know what packages I have to install. Can I build windows binary on Ubuntu 8.4 LTS? Please give answers.
can any please tell me what is the svn address of Previous sourcecode to download the source by the tortoisesvn?

Ok I have installed this packages for Cygwin-
bash,coreutils,cpio,diffutils,file,greb,groff,gzip,m4,make,man.patch,readline,sed,tar,unzip,zlib0,zlib0-devel,autoconf,binutils,gcc,libtoool,rpm etc.Now I have a problem - I can't download the source from sourceforge.I have installed TortoiseSVN.Please give the link to  download the source.Sorry for my bad English :oops:

Follow this link:

http://sourceforge.net/p/previous/code/HEAD/tree/

There are the commands and URLs to load the source code (currently active branch is "branch_mmu").

Ok, I have downloaded source code of previous(help by andreas-g). But I don't  know where to put the SDL and ZLIB? What kind Source or DLL ? When I start cmake on Cygwin without the files then the massage appears(Please see this picture)-
(http://postimage.org/)
screen capture software (http://postimage.org/app.php)
Please give a solution!

You can find tutorials here:
http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/windows/index.php

If this doesn't help there are lots of other tutorials. Google gives good results here.

Important note: You need SDL 1.2.x. Do not try SDL 2.x. It won't work.

I am stuck at how to install sdl library on cygwin.Please help Me!!

Ok I have installed SDL on Cygwin. But there is a problem -

CMake Warning at /usr/share/cmake-2.8.9/Modules/Platform/CYGWIN.cmake:15 (messag      e):
 CMake no longer defines WIN32 on Cygwin!

 (1) If you are just trying to build this project, ignore this warning or
 quiet it by setting CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32=0 in your environment or in
 the CMake cache.  If later configuration or build errors occur then this
 project may have been written under the assumption that Cygwin is WIN32.
 In that case, set CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32=1 instead.

 (2) If you are developing this project, add the line

   set(CMAKE_LEGACY_CYGWIN_WIN32 0) # Remove when CMake >= 2.8.4 is required

 at the top of your top-level CMakeLists.txt file or set the minimum
 required version of CMake to 2.8.4 or higher.  Then teach your project to
 build on Cygwin without WIN32.

I cannot find the  SDL_config_minimal.h in sdl 1.2.15

I think you can just use this one:

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15/include/SDL_config_minimal.h

Please only post relevant parts of log files.

I'll recompile on windows in some days. Last time i used mingw2003 and cmake but it´s a bit tricky. I'll take snapshots and links to what is needed.

I've cross compiled with mingw for linux (much simpler than compiling under windows itself). It compiles but the platform specific fpu is not correct and fails at startup tests. Also the system does not find the boot sector...

I have also the same error ( Error 41, FPU Error). It may be andreas_g is not updated the source code.

This error is just in ROM self test.
you can boot after that with command "bsd"
I have the same issue with the gcc win32 compiled version.

Can any give me detailed introduction how to compile Previous for windows by cygwin or mingw? Please help me!

Ok I found a way that should be OK with current cygwin:

short anwser: Install mingw32 for cygwin and do a cross compile.

usefull answer:
_ under cygwin install mingw32-gcc-core, binutils, zlib and g++ (all in mingw32 flavor).
_ copy include and lib of SDL 1.2 for mingw devel in correct path
(for me it's C:\cygwin\usr\share\i686-pc-mingw32\sys-root\mingw )

adapt path in previous-code/cmake/Toolchain.mingw32.cmake

then in cygwin shell go to source dir
for me it's /cygdrive/c/previous/previous-code

and type
./configure --cross-compile-win32
then
make

you will get a previous.exe in src directory
you will need SDL.dll and libz-1.dll to run (libz-1.dll is in mingw bin dir)

[edit]
also need libgcc_s_dw1-2.dll also in bin directory
