HI Aluigi!
Could you tell me how to compile bf1942fp with gcc?
I see that there are two files - winerr.h and bf1942fp.c , but I do not what to do with them.

I get these errors.

Code:

tux@slitaz:~/bf1942fp$ gcc -o bf1942fp bf1942fp.c -lws2_32
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lws2_32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Without -lws2_32 switch it compiles a binnary. What is that switch for?

-lws2_32 is needed only for the windows "native" version of gcc like tdragon and mingw.

for any other version like linux and cygwin you must NOT use -lws2_32
