Also lets us know if it does.

of make install on some systems
To build win32(mingw) quakeforge bins you will need to download and build
libtools and SDL sources, in that order.
To build win32(mingw) QuakeForge bins you will need to download and install cygwin, and the Microsoft DirectX SDK. Cygwin can be found at http://www.cygwin.org
You will also need 3 headers from the Microsoft Directx SDK.
ddraw.h dinput.h dsound.h
Put them in your /usr/include/w32api dir
Once cygwin is installed along with the appropriate developement modules, copy dinput.h from the DirectX SDK and place it in /usr/include/w32api/
Obtain libtool source from www.gnu.org (good place to get to know), and when
you configure libtool please ensure you use --prefix=/usr otherwise you will
have problems.
If you want to use DirectSound also copy dsound.h to the same spot.
Obtain SDL source from www.libsdl.org. You do not need the SDL mingw file, it
is just a bunch of docs and test source.
Once both are built and installed, then you can start.
in quakeforge run
in the quakeforge source dir, within cygwin, type
./bootstrap
./configure --program-prefix= --disable-oss --host=i386-mingw32 --build=i386-cygwin --target=i386-ming32 --disable-Werror
./configure --host=i386-mingw32 --build=i386-cygwin --target=i386-mingw32 --program-prefix= --with-static-plugins --disable-shared --disable-oss --disable-vorbis --disable-Werror --enable-optimize --enable-asmopt --disable-debug --enable-zlib
make
make install
goto the /usr/local/bin directory and copy the qw-* and nq-* files to your dos
--disable-Werror is needed as some versions of the DX SDK are buggy.
Go to the /usr/local/bin directory and copy the qw-* and nq-* files to your dos
quake dir
NOTE: due to bugs in the Directx8 SDK header files you will need
--disable-Werror on the configure command line. This may also be the case with
earlier Directx SDK's but it hasn't been tested.
Let us know how it works for you.
Let us know how you go.
NOTE: At the time of writing qw-server.exe was not working correctly. Please refrain from using it unless you are willing to fix it.
Special Note: QuakeForge only supplies our own version of the programs for Quake. To get the game data, you still need to have purchased Quake or get the shareware version from Id Software.
