The tools package for Windows has been updated, to resolve that error.

mockup and smooth use the command line for output now, which should make their use easier too.

No, installing the required GTK+ libraries as part of Exult Studio target would not be a good idea. Since the GTK+ libraries could be at a different location, or a different version of the GTK+ libraries could be used. The only reasons to compile Exult Studio for Windows, would be to alter source co...

I always stop the Exult snapshots shortly before a release, to prevent multiple versions with a final version number. The Exult snapshots resume as soon as version number is increased and first CVS change is made after a final release.

Mockup is included in Exult Win32 Tools snapshot at http://exult.info/download.php

Some poor anti-virus software still continue to falsly detect any self extracting files created with SFX Maker as been a trojan. Just ignore the warning, the warning is only given for self extracting file itself and not the files inside. I use Vet anti-virus myself, which is updated almost daily and...

There is no OpenGL support in the Windows 1.1.0cvs snapshots, so the OpenGL option has no function. The OpenGL option showing up in non-OpenGL builds is just a bug.

Make sure you aren't using the Nvidia 40.x reference drivers, as they have issues with all SDL based programs. Use either a later or earlier version of the Nvidia reference drivers.

The exact problem was the speed between my ISP (Optus@Home Cable) and SourceForge was so slow (Took over an hour for last small file under 1MB I managed to upload) it was just about impossible (Due to constant timeouts) to upload anything at the time. I had a similar problem once before but I doubt ...

OK, this is confirmed as a problem with the current Exult 1.1.0cvs snapshot due to using a static SDL_Mixer library. The next snapshot will resolve the issue but won't be released until later today.

mingw is needed for windows, cygwin is only used as a shell. Or you could try http://exult.info/snapshots/Pentagram.exe

It is best to use the current mingw version (1.1) at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=53765

Sounds like you are using a very old copy of Exult CVS, open Makefile.win32 with a text editor:
Change -DVERSION=\\\\"0.97cvs\\\\"
to -DVERSION=\"0.97cvs\"
Change -DEXULT_DATADIR=\\\\"data\\\\"
to -DEXULT_DATADIR=\"data\"
Save file and compile again.

Yes, all the Exult snapshots for Windows are compiled with the DEBUG option enabled.

The linker is unable to find the SDL library (libSDL.a), sounds like you have not set the SDL_LIBS path correctly in makefile.
BTW in case you didn't know there is a walk through to compile Exult on Windows in the README.win32 file.
