I tried to download MinGW, and WinRAR said that w32api-3.9.tar within the .tar.gr file under the current section is corrupt. Am I donwloading the wrong file? --71.225.64.232 14:44, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

.tar.gz is not a rar-file. WinZip (at least) knows how to open .tar.gz files. --Paxed 15:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, you don't need to download any .tar.gz files; there's a MinGW-5.1.3.exe that you want. --Paxed 15:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, guess I was grabbing the wrong file. Thanks a ton. --71.225.64.232 21:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

How do I open Makefile.gcc so I can get NetHack on graphical mode? 69.109.231.64 22:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Makefile.gcc is a plain ASCII text file, you can open it with notepad or any editor of your choice. But you have to make sure your editor uses real tabs (not spaces expanded to tab widths) as makefiles need real tabs. - Progo 05:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
