How to compile under windows #22

Open ve3sjk opened 8 years ago

ve3sjk commented 8 years ago

Are there any instructions on how to compile under windows. I use 3dSimplify software that implements this software to convert for Replicator 2x printer. The latest version has a Heated Build Plate max temperature setting of 120 degrees. I need to remove that max temp or change it so i can heat my build plate to 130C. This was not an issue in previous versions. The issue is in gpx.h line 66 which has this line #define HBP_MAX 120. I have cygwin installed but don't know the commands required to compile a version without the limit.

You might want to start with the latest GPX over here: https://github.com/markwal/GPX.

That version is buildable under cygwin using "make" at the root. Myself, I also install mingw and while I run make under cygwin, the gcc I use comes from mingw (to avoid the cygwin.dll dependency).
