| I've looked through some of the files and came across some install notes that talk about using Make or writing come code "cc planet.c -o planet -lm -O" okay i can write that but where do i write it? cmd? a batch file? |

| Make sure you download vpplanetgenerator and not a matrixprogram. |

| Or.. if you did that then click on detup.exe. |

| Nicholas, you will need to install make it's just easier. You may also need to install a C/C++ compiler. For linux users that tends to be GCC, I don't know what windows users use... MinGW probably. Once you have installed make... open up your cmd prompt. (In linux this is known as terminal). Then navigate to your "planet" directory... I...dunno how to do that in windows. Then type "make all". Works like a dream. |

| I compiled it in MinGW. It's also GCC. The Makefile was well-written and was able to compile without editing. The planet.exe needed to use setmode() to change the output to binary mode so it can output images in Windows without corruption. |
