145 Gnu Makefiles for all Petzold Programs

[John Kopplin]

I have just completed 145 Gnu makefiles that allow the free
MinGW (Gnu) Compiler to compile and execute all of the
example programs which Charles Petzold describes in his
"Programming Windows Fifth Edition" book, which is the
standard reference book on Microsoft's WIN32 API.

I freely distribute these 145 makefiles in a .ZIP file,
along with an installation program that will copy them into
Petzold's directory structure, from my web page at:

http://www.computersciencelab.com/Petzold.htm

Only 5 of the 145 programs require user intervention to
compile with the Gnu compiler, which is not bad for porting
that many programs to a new compiler, especially given
Microsoft's lax adherence to standards.

I would be very pleased if these makefiles would help
with the development of the Wine emulator.

Yes, they are quite helpful. To be even more useful,
please change the lines:

CC      = gcc
WRES    = windres

into:

ifndef WINE
CC      = gcc
WRES    = windres
else
CC      = winegcc
WRES    = wrc
endif

This way they are ready to compile as Winelib apps just by doing:

make -f file.mak WINE=1

Cool work, thanks!
