Building An Executable

Platforms

The current version of NARS2000 runs on Windows platforms only, however the goal is to move it to Linux, Mac OS, etc. as per user requests. As such, for the moment, the following description for building an executable is necessarily biased towards Windows.

Tools, Libraries, and Source Code

To build the executable you'll need the following

• A C compiler and linker
• A Make program
• A Resource Compiler
• A Parser Generator
• A Zip Utility
• Windows SDK
• NARS2000 Source Code
• Optionally, a Source Control program
• A Perl-compatible Regular Expression library

The tools I used to create the program happen to be Microsoft-specific, however there is no reason more generic tools (such as GNU C) can't be used, a task I'm hoping someone will volunteer to investigate.
