First thanks for the link Trumpcard and thanks moonphoenix for the files. I unfortunately am having trouble with both. I won't go into all of the file problems here since they involve a different topic but I would like a bit more help with gcc if I could get it.
I went to gcc.gnu.org and downloaded what I believe is gcc_3_3_2 fron cvs. I downloaded it that way because I don't know anything about tar.gz or gzip even after playing the program.
Now that I have the files (in some form) I don't know what to do with them. I went back to the GCC site and read a fair deal of documentation, including a section on "Installation" of gcc. None of what I read made much sense and what did got me worried that I needed about ten other programs to compile the compiler GCC. If that is the case then I'm probably not going to learn anything more about GCC, because I know when I'm way out of my league. And with this stuff, I'm getting really close.
I also downloaded and installed cygwin because I was under the impression, from other posts I've read, that I needed cygwin to run GCC under windows.
I've read over the help file you posted Trumpcard several times but I cannot see where I am supposed to do the "cd world," "make" and other commands. I would assume in the gcc program but I'm at a loss as to how I turn the GCC files I downloaded into a program and I'm also at a loss as to how I run GCC in cygwin. I have some ideas, and I've tried some things but nothing I've tried has worked.
What I want to know is do I need to compile GCC to run it so that I can compile world.exe, zone.exe and EMUSharMem.dll? If I don't need to do all that, then how do I run GCC? Through cygwin somehow? What commands do I need to get it to run in cygwin?
Just so you know, I'm on a WinXP machine with a P4 1.4gh processor. I have 512 mb ram and 40gigs HD.
I'm starting to think finding a person who has a copy of Visual Studio might not be so hard after all compared with getting GCC to run on a windows machine.
