In this directory you find ready-to-run distributions of Freeciv
for Microsoft Windows systems.

1) The GTK+ 2.0 client:

  freeciv-1.14.1-gtk.exe           # GTK+ 2.0 interface

For this version, you must also install GTK+
(from http://www.dropline.net/gtk/).

It is the GTK+ 2.0 Unix/Linux client, recompiled for Windows.  It has
only been tested on Windows 2000 and Windows XP and may utterly fail on
other Windows versions.

2) The native Win32 client:

  freeciv-1.14.1-win32.exe         # native Win32 interface
  freeciv-1.14.1-win32.zip         # id., in a ZIPfile

This is a real port, with certain differences in functionality.
It does not require additional software to be installed.
Its homepage is at

There exists a third way to run Freeciv on Microsoft Windows: under
Cygwin (www.cygwin.com), using an X server (e.g. XFree86 as distributed
with Cygwin).  This requires compiling Freeciv from source; it is not
recommended, except as a portability test.
