Compiling Rom 2.4(Startermud-Winrot)

Im not sure if this topic has came up before but i was wondering how to compile Rom 2.4 in Visual C++ or perhaps if anyone had sugestions on a better way to do it,And i also
need to recompile for the changesin the source code to take affect.

The source code for ROM posted on this site (see Downloads button above) has been changed to compile under Visual C++.

Alternatively, there are posts in the forum showing how to compile it under Cygwin (using the Unix version of the source).

I was still wondering how to do it with Visual C++ so i can recompile it to take affect to source,I dont need the source i just need to be able to compile it and recompile
it.

You need the source to compile and recompile. I presume from your reply that you already have it?

Detailed information about doing compiles, getting a compiler, making changes, and other useful topics are in the web page How to make changes, including compiling

As far as using Visual C++ to do it, just open the project file (rom.dsp) which comes in the download I mentioned, and then do a "build".

The problem it is now it gives me there is no source in this project error,i dont know if you have any ideas on this can you please tell me?Thanks for helping me out so much im new to this and im trying to understand.

Also to add it doesnt give me a choice to to be able to build it to...

And how about the dsw file ?Mabey there is a way i can compile it by that but i dont understand how to get the dsw to work.

The .dsp file is the project file, and the .dsw is the workspace file. Either should open OK.

If not, the source files cannot be in the right place. The simplest thing might just be to add them yourself, using the Project menu -> Add to Project -> Files.

Then add all the .c files. Then try building. If you can't get that to work you might be better off using the Cygwin compiler - at least I have done a line-by-line web page explaining how to compile using that (mentioned in the earlier post).

Ok now i dont know,i dont see the add to project in the project menu mabey i just have a older version..well i realy dont know about cygwin i might try but if you find anything out please help me thanks.

I have version 6, if you have an earlier one that might be why the .dsp file doesn't work. There will be a way of adding files to a project, I don't remember what it is for earlier versions.
