All I wanted to learn was how to make my own 3d game engine in c++ but I cant seem to get the data off the floppy disk it had the ast3d c++ library and the executables with it but without them Its pointless because the book cant teach you much without those librarys I wish they was a download that somebody made for those librarys on that floppy disk

Well this is the book and the floppy disk was a little damaged at the top of the drive so it kinda broken but not that bad the top right side of the floppy and the top left side of the floppy is almost broken the plastic is about to break bit not a very big break very small https://www.amazon.com/Building-3D-Game-Engine-C/dp/0471123269/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518656365&sr=8-1&keywords=building+a+3d+game+engine+in+c%2B%2B The floppy was still sealed in the sleeve at the back of the book... so its kinda hard to believe that the floppy could be bad even if it was still sealed....

fdd connection its a old floppy drive

Im using windows xp 64bit

I managed to get it to configure and create a makfile but know I have ran into this error can anybody tell me what this error is and how to fix it.....

Do I need to quote it in the enviroment varibles path or in the sdl-config file or nether Please help....

Can you give me an example Please

Okay I got the mingw 1.0.1 version of sdl but whats odd I get this issue now I went to my advance system settings and went to the enviroment varibles and set the path to the sdl-config file but when I configure I get this issue my log below

So how do I do this sdl thing...

Alright i will try it and let you know

All I have to do is use call the source directory and use the dir to unpack the files so my question is there is no makefile just makefile.in or makefile.am so gnumake can not target those makefiles so what do I need to do here....

I've got make installed and ready to execute the makefile but make cannot find any targets so the makefile.in and the makefile.am is not a makefile I think but what command do I need to put in i'm ready i've got all the hard stuff installed and ready.... Please somebody help me with this please...

I'm using mingw on windows so what steps in mingw that I need to do because you made since above but tar is not a command in mingw commmand line so whats the commands that I need to know step by step please give them to me thanks... It would answer my question easier if you would supply the step by step commands in mingw for windows for executing the source...

Alright my question still is what is the command for executing the make file.... I mean I cant go further without knowing the command......

Thank you that helped me out but can you list the mingw commands that I need to know in order to execute these files for example to compile a source .c file in mingw I do it like this

g++ hello.c -o hello.exe

So whats the commands that I need to do for the files and the order steps listed above thanks for your answer almost figured this out long time so thank you your awesome....

Yes But How do you build it do you use mingw if so how.... i'm confused any advice come on anything

Thank you for the help!

I am using this source code https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM Hope this helps
