| Installing WinTin++ |
| A windows installer is available for download to install WinTin++, which exists of the PuTTY terminal and a TinTin++ binary. Wintin doesn't have shell capabilities, but otherwise it's an excellent TinTin++ port that works on Windows 95, 98, XP, and Vista. For an interactive shell see the instructions for installing TinTin++ on Windows. |
| Compiling TinTin++ |
|
| If this didn't work you most likely need to install the zlib and/or pcre libraries. |
| Installing TinTin++ |
| BSD |
| In order to compile the source code you need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |
| Debian |
| In order to compile the source code you may need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |
| Fedora |
| The following commands should install TinTin++ on Fedora. |
|
| It's also possible to install straight from the Fedora repository using 'yum install tintin', though this may give you an out of date version. |
| Execute: tt++ to launch TinTin++ |
| Mandrake |
| In order to compile the source code you may need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |
| Mac OS X (OSX) |
| In order to compile the source code you may need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |
| Red Hat |
| In order to compile the source code you may need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |
| Slackware |
| In order to compile the source code you may need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |
| Solaris |
| If you get symbol reference errors add -lxnet to the end of the CC variable in Makefile: CC = -Wall -lxnet |
| SuSe |
| In order to compile the source code you may need to have the zlib and pcre libraries installed. |

|

| Windows 95 and higher |
| An installer is available for download to install WinTin++, which exists of the mintty terminal and the TinTin++ binary. WinTin doesn't have shell capabilities, but otherwise WinTin is an excellent TinTin++ port that works on Windows 95, 98, XP, and Vista. It has some issues on Windows 7 and 8 so it's suggested to run TinTin++ from within Cygwin on these platforms. |
| WinTin is not to be confused with the less retro (or what some would call more graphical) wintin.net or wintin 95 mud client. For people who want an upgrade from wintin 95 the WinTin port is an excellent alternative supporting most of the same features, except for some wintin 95 and wintin.net specific commands, as well as a lot of functionality that has been added to TinTin++ and hence is available in the WinTin port as well, like Perl Compatible Regular Expression support. |
| In order to run WinTin or TinTin++ in a linux environment on Windows you need the Cygwin emulator which consists of two parts: |
|
| The Cygwin DLL works with all non-beta, non 'release candidate', ix86 32 bit versions of Windows since Windows 95, with the exception of Windows CE. |
| The size of Cygwin depends on how many packages you install, but averages around 200 megabytes while WinTin is only 2 MB. If this appeals to you, follow the instructions below to install Cygwin. Keep in mind that WinTin doesn't have shell capabilities which means the #system, #run, and #script command will not work. These commands can be used under Cygwin for sub windowing, ssh, sftp, playing sounds, sending emails, visiting websites, etc. |
