You, brave soul, have dared to consider building POWDER?

Do you not know this source is only released to taunt you?

Still undeterred?

Well, let us first examine your target platform.

(Hint: If it is not Linux/Mac OSX you are in for a world of pain)

=========
= Linux =
=========

A script called buildall.sh is here.  Invoke it.  If nothing goes wrong, you
are done.  If things go wrong?  Perhaps install sdl-dev?  Sacrifice another
grid bug?  The signs are unclear.

Do not try to run make from the source root.

You may need to chmod +x some scripts.  Cygwin sucks.


===========
= Mac OSX =
==--=======

A script called buildall.OSX.sh is here.  Invoke it.  If nothing goes
wrong, you are done.  If things go wrong?  Make sure you have
installed the SDL framework in /Library/Framework.  Otherwise I don't
know...

Do not try to run make from the source root.  Do not try to run make
from port/mac either, as it requires ARCH to be set.

You may need to chmod +x some scripts.  Cygwin sucks.


===========
= Windows =
===========

.sln is your friend.  You need MSVC2003 or later.  Build everything in your
support directory that has .sln.  Put them in your path.  

Use those tools to build the support files - the buildall.sh contains clues.

port/windows may then be loaded and build.

=======
= GBA =
=======

Purchase a copy of HAM Lib.  The free version does not work.  

Use your local compiler to build all the support directory files and put them
in your path.

In gfx, run domake.bat.

In the source root, run make.  

======
= DS =
======

Download devkitPro.  Thank Richard Quirk for fixing the r21
compatibility problem, allowing you to merely use the latest version.

Use your local compiler to build all the support directory and dump them in
your path.  Again, you must manually transform the secondary files using
buildall.sh as a clue.

Finally, invoke make in your MSys devkitpro window in the port/ds directory.
Victory shall be thine!
