Recompiling the tools in the C:\nburn\pctools directory

Post by Ridgeglider »

Can anyone explain the steps required to recompile projects in the pctools directory? In particular, I'd like to recompile the MTTTY application -- the 2.5.2 Beta has changed the font and font size and it is now just way too big for my monitors. I could use an old version, but I'd also like to know how to recompile these pc tools, either on the command line or preferable within Eclipse. The code itself looks simple to edit.
Thanks!

I use Visual C++ for my compiles and mods to the pctools,
i.e., the Windows programs.

I haven't hooked Eclipse with my VC++ tool chain. The
NBEclipse I use for NB apps isn't set to generate Windows
apps like the pctools, just NB module applications. Maybe
someone else has pulled those two together but I'm fine
keeping them separate.

Visual C++ 6.0 is your friend.. All other versions are bloatware. Take it from me, I have authored big C# apps VS2003 and 5.


You could start with my modified MTTTY. mouse wheel works, memory is monumental, I even added some comments.

Who on the forum knows where I can stash the source for y'all? Netburner Wiki?

Or, just keep around the older mttty.exe file

Chris,

I would think something like github.com would be a good place to store it if you want to make it a community project.

I just now stashed the source code in the applications area
