Forums General Discussion Few Question About Eggbot w/ Windows

I have a few questions concerning preparing the Eggbot. This has nothing to do with its configuration, only its preperation on a Windows PC for a Unix shell server.

1) Is it still considered a Windrop if the shell it will be running on is a Unix system?

2) Will preparing and compiling the bot on a Windows XP system make it so the bot will be unable to operate on the Unix shell server?

3) Does anybody know of any great resources for preparing a Windrop? I've had little success on IRC.

Thanks so much.

Hi there,



A Windrop will not run on a UNIX shell because it has been compiled for Windows and not UNIX. if a Windrop *could* be run under a UNIX, then it'd be just that - a Windrop running under UNIX.



Unless you compile the bot *for* UNIX, it will not execute on a UNIX system. Try using a Windows port of the open-source GCC compiler for this task.



Try here.

Good luck

Thanks so much for the information =)
