Doesn't compile on windows

[ejseto]

I get the following error while compiling:

make NATIVE=win32

g++ -Wall -Wextra -Wno-switch -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-unused
-parameter -g -MMD -c main.cpp -o objwin/main.o
main.cpp:18:21: fatal error: libintl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [objwin/main.o] Error 1

I'm on Win8 with VS2012, it does compile but it takes some work.
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/
Go there and get the gettext runtime and gettext runtime dev (the latest versions)
Extract them to a folder somewhere. Point you library path to the \lib folder and your include path to the \include folder. Place the *.dll files into the same directory you create your Cataclysm.exe file in.

Thanks, I'd never heard of gettext. SDL was optional and had a great big sign saying you needed it, but I wasn't sure what the problem was with this.

The wiki still needs updating btw, if anyone has step-by-step instructions for getting it to work
