Compiling In Windows
====================
-**This guide has been replaced by a shorter alternative.** This guide should still work, and get you a standalone MinGW/MSYS environment with access to msysgit. The new method only makes use of msysgit and is therefore easier and faster to set up. See the [[Repository Access|Repository_Access#windows]] page.

You will need about 10 gigabytes of disk space to keep the sources (the uncompressed texture files are quite large and git keeps a backup copy, doubling the actual size of the sources).
------------------------------------
To compile and run Xonotic in Windows, you will need to download the following. Do not install anything yet, this is covered in the next section.
-\* The latest version of [MinGW](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/). At the time of writing this guide, mingw provides an installer (mingw-get-inst). More up-to-date information on how to get MinGW can be found on http://mingw.org
-\* [msysgit](https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list). Make sure you get the latest **full installer for official Git** (not the self-contained packages). At the time of writing this, the latest installer is called Git-1.7.11-preview20120710.exe.

### Installing MinGW
### Installing msysgit
-Run the installer. At the component selection screen (screenhsot: attachment:“git-1-components.png”), uncheck the “Associate .sh files” option. Windows Explorer Integration can also optionnally be unselected — it is only useful if you plan on contributing and do not like using git purely from the command line to do so. When you get to the PATH adjusting screen (screenshot: attachment:git-2-path.png), you need to select the second option (Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt). This ensures that git can be run from the MinGW shell, as we will not use the shell that comes with msysgit for this. Finally, in the line ending screen (screenshot: attachment:git-3-crlf.png), keep the first option selected unless you know what you’re doing.
