New programmer here to help

Post by Digitus »

Hi everybody, I'm Matteo from Italy. I started playing Warzone 2100 when it was still under copyright and only in recent times I found this website. So here I am: I have a good knowledge of C/C++ and I would like to try helping you.

I'm just trying to compile the source code (I'm on Windows, using Code::Blocks) but I get something like 50 errors (mainly in png_util.c). Clearly I'm not doing things right :D

Hope you guys can help me out this mess ^_^

On windows, you need to use minGW or MSVC. Code::blocks in not maintained, and has been removed.
and it ends here.
