You forget that you need cmake and perl as well.
As for git, I can't live without tortoisegit.

Oh right.

As for git, I can't live without tortoisegit.

TortoiseGit is the only reason I still use Git at all, but in this case it's probably simpler to explain the command line.
(And I forget if TortoiseGit adds itself to PATH automatically like Github and mysysgit do.)

Have you tried asking someone in the mead hall? I haven't played much adventure mode in 40.XX, but there seems to be a vastly greater opportunity to ask questions about nearly everything.

You still can't ask 'why are you fighting' or why did you kill ____' or 'why are you attacking me'. There is a greater opportunity, yes, but still not enough.

Actually, TortoiseGit is just a front-end for whatever commandline git program is in your PATH. It won't work without one of the other two installed.

Compiling DFHack for Windows is actually really easy if explained, and it doesn't require a zillion programs, just four.
[...]
You need:

Visual Studio 2010 Express for C#

Getting Visual C++ 2010 Express might prove useful as well, considering that most of dfhack is written in C++, and not C#.

Compiling DFHack for Windows is actually really easy if explained, and it doesn't require a zillion programs, just four.

You need:
CMake
Git - I prefer Github or mysysgit for these purposes (simple command line stuff).
Perl - Strawberry Perl is simplest
Visual Studio 2010 Express for C#

• Install all four of the above programs.
• Hold down Shift and right-click in an empty space on your desktop. Select "Open command window here".
• Type "git clone -b develop git://github.com/dfhack/dfhack.git" and hit Enter. (Remove the "-b develop" part if you don't want the development branch version, but you usually will.)
• Type "cd dfhack" and hit Enter.
• Type "git submodule init" and hit Enter.
• Type "git submodule update" and hit Enter.
• Close the command prompt and open the DFHack folder you just made and then open the Build folder inside of that.
• Double-click on 'generate-MSVC-gui.bat'.
• In the window that pops up, uncheck the box that says "DL_RUBY", then click Configure, and lastly click Generate.
• Close that window and enter the new VC2010 directory that was created and double-click on dfhack.sln.
• Open the "Solution Explorer" tab to the right, scroll down to "PACKAGE", and then right-click on it and hit "Build".
• When it eventually finishes running, open the new folder "_CPack_Packages", then the folder "win32", then the folder "ZIP", and you will have your very own zipped-up DFHack build.

Thank you for trying to teach a man to fish here!
" .. it doesn't require a zillion programs, just four." That part made me laugh.
Don't get me wrong, I think your step by step manual would probably help. I am looking for something in the difficult level of "Right click, save as... ; unzip; start up; siren (to get the bugged dwarfes to walk again) ; drybuckets and then some autodump" (and god I love the autoselect building)

cheers

New release!

[Philii]

New release!

Thank.It is 5 days after df 0.40.10 release.

[Rose]

Attention: Stonesense will most likely not work properly in this release. At least not properly.

[expwnent]

Looks fine to me at least at first glance.

[lethosor]

OS X build of 0.40.10-r1

New release!

You have forever a place in my heart, mate!

It is terrifying

[shadus]

Two words:

THANK GOD.

I've had a massive bloodbath to clean up for a few days... so ready to have dfhack again (fort has done fine due to an entrance bath.. but the blood elsewhere is astounding.)
