Can't compile the source code under Windows 10.

Can't compile the game under Windows 10.

Every time after entering "make ." command in shell I have a message:

"pwd" is not internal or external
command, executable program, or batch file.
make: Nothing to be done for '.'.

I used Chocolate, MinGW and some several other ways to run make command, but the result is always the same.

On Windows I use msys2 to build it. I'll make a note of that in the readme. You may be able to just delete the makefile line that references pwd since I don't think it's used.

Much better now.

After some dozens of operations (~1 min) it stopped with this error:

gcc audio/brr/gssbrr.c -o audio/brr/gssbrr
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, gcc audio/brr/gssbrr.c -o audio/brr/gssbrr, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The specified file cannot be found.
make: *** [audio/brr/gssbrr] Error 2

That's an error about not having a C compiler. I went and added it to the repo so people don't need to get a compiler just for one utility.

It seems I could beat it ))

I installed a GCC and have corrected some libraries. Now I have compiled the game.

Is it normally we haven't in-game sound? And first screen is corrupted (image attached):

[NovaSquirrel]

Yeah there's no sound yet. It doesn't look like that on a real SNES or any emulator I've tried so I don't know what's going on there.

Here are steps that worked for me (as of November 2023):

Install WSL and Ubuntu (Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS codename: jammy) in Windows 10.

Install the following tools/utils/updates:

sudo apt update

sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo apt install x11-apps

sudo apt install make

sudo apt install build-essential

Run the following to install the dependencies in Ubutntu terminal:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-image-dev

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev

Then go to the directory where you have PrincessEdit2 source and run make.
Usually you would navigate through c drive that is mounted on Ubutntu (e.g. cd /mnt/c ) if you place the project PrincessEdit2 source in windows C drive.

After that you should be able to find editor built in the root of the PrincessEdit2 directory. Chmod the file as executable.

Execute the editor like so:

./editor slopedemo.json

You should now see this window pop up:

Ctrl-S to save
1-9 to change layers
w,a,s,d to scroll level
i,j,k,l to move tile
e to insert tile
