    Hi guys,

    i'm having difficulties running any open source games i download off sourceforge.net. Basically, they all must run on unix, and i was wondering is there an easy way to build game makefiles / run game source sucessfully on windows ?


    any feedback much appreciated.

    Dan

    You might need to get some Unix tools e.g. Cygwin, to mimic a Unix environment. It can provide an X server (GUI) to run the games under.
    You could ask the maintainers to create executables for use on Windows.
