It should work on Linux, and with MinGW on Windows.  \nYou can also use my fork of [w64devkit](https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit), called [win32-devkit](https://github.com/Alex313031/win32-devkit).\n\nUsing this method, you can compile on Linux, or Windows XP+ (using win32-devkit).\n\n```\nmake -B all -j# (where # is number of jobs)\n\n```\n\n### With GN/Ninja\n[Chromium](https://www.chromium.org) uses a build system with [GN](https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/refs/heads/main/README.md) and [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/).\n\nI have made a minimal, modified version configured specifically for compiling Win32 programs\nfor legacy Windows called [gn-legacy](https://github.com/Alex313031/gn-legacy).  \nIt can be used on Windows 7+ or Linux. (Unlike the regular MinGW method above, gn.exe does not work on Windows XP/Vista.)\n\nReally, it is a meta-build system. GN stands for \"Generate Ninja\" and can use __BUILD.gn__ files to\ngenerate `.ninja` files. These are used by Ninja (the actual build system), to run the commands to compile it.  \nThe compiler itself is dependant on the host platform:  \nOn Linux, a special MinGW build I compiled on Ubuntu 24.04 to support legacy Windows and use static linkage is used.\nOn Windows, it simply uses an extracted toolchain from win32-devkit mentioned above.\n\n## Resources\n\n[About Pong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong)\n\nCharles Petzold - [Programming Windows 5th Ed.](https://www.charlespetzold.com/books/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falex313031%2Fpong_win32","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falex313031%2Fpong_win32","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falex313031%2Fpong_win32/lists"}
