I am trying to install PhysicsFS (icculus.org/physfs/) on my Win 7 with MinGW. But I am having hard time doing it. I googled it as well but still nothing - I have used linux environment and make toolchain before ( notnot CMake though) - but I guess I am a bit rusty.

I tried following all the directions in INSTALL.txt and google - but here is what I managed till now.

I have MinGW installed and manullymanually installed CMake as well. Now I download the src from the site and do "cmake -G "MinGW MakeFiles"

Theenter image description here The next this is what bemused me - Well I havnthaven't encountered it before - I do "make"make and expect it to make the files but instead it goes into Windows Command Prompt. And then I am lost.

PART 2 -

I am fairly new MinGW - I was wondereingwondering if I want to develop do I compile from source or just install the developing package - as I understand compiling from source would give me both ( dev packages as well as binaries/static libs), right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
