Google, Google.

Search the archives (e.g., Google Groups' archive) for information on
compiling on Windows. If you don't care about tiles, then compiling for
Windows XP is the same as compiling for MS-DOS. But I don't know
anything
about Windows CE, which is what you started out talking about.

So do I need microsoft visual C++ 6.0 or will nmake and pearl work?
I do care about tiles.

Nethack is written in C, not C++. I think MSVC++ 6.0 probably can
compile C, too, if you set the right options, but I'm not familiar
with it. You definitely DO NOT want Perl --- I only posted that link
because it seems to link to a KB article where you can download nmake.

(As I said, I know nothing about tiles, so I'll let someone else
take over the advising at this point.)

One thing I have not figure out yet is what is the differences between
the
different files on nethack.org?
I got nethack-343-src.gz & nethack-343-src.tar & nethack-343-ce-proj.zip

nethack-343-src.tar.gz (note: NOT ...tar or ...gz, but ...tar.gz!)
is the source distribution, yes. You'll need 'tar' and 'gzip' to extract
the contents. (tar/gzip is the Unix-world equivalent of ZIP in the
Windows world.)
You can find distributions of 'tar' and 'gzip' for Windows/MS-DOS
the same way you found 'nmake': search Google.

nethack-343-ce-proj.zip contains pocketpc.vcp

Yeah, looks like a Visual C++ (Visual Studio?) project file. I guess
they're intending you to use a Microsoft compiler. Look for a README
file, or anything ending in .DOC, and read it. (Or wait for someone
who's compiled for PocketPC to respond, but that could take a while. :)

Is the tiles included with nethack-343-src.tar or is that something
seperate?

I believe the standard tilesets are included with the source, yes.
Look in nethack-3.4.3/win/share/.

Ok so does nmake come with visual studio? I think it does

Can I use Visual studio 2005? I don't have access to 6.0.
Its way to old.
