[Frogface-general] Developing Frogface on Windows - Guide

[Declan M. <dec...@fr...>]

Hi there,

Apologies for the delay in getting a little help to those of you trying to
get froggie up and running on a Windows box. I\'m spent a while today
working through such issues and posted a guide on the forums at

https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4137155

The main problem people were having was the following  \"WARNING: Unable
to expand ~ in ~\\bin\". This was due to a bug in the
frogface/trunk/src/src.pro file. If you\'re developing on Windows, you can
fix this bug you need to open the file frogface/trunk/src/src.pro and
change the the line
	target.path = ~/bin
to
	target.path = ./bin

This issue doesn\'t affect *NIX developers because Linux and Unix will
happily interpret the ~ character as a user\'s home directory.

I haven\'t committed this change to the repository just yet because I
haven\'t tested it on Linux. So if you\'re on Windows just manually change
the file as outlined above.

Also, to build on Windows you need to use the mingw32-make command for
building instead of qmake. This and a couple of other points are outlined
in the \"Build Frogface\" section of the guide.

All the best,
Dec
