Development setup

1. Unpack copy of Borland's TurboC somewhere.
2. Pull this repository into a working copy.
3. Make a copy of MAKEFILE.LOC.template named MAKEFILE.LOC and update it's contents to match Your environment.
4. Run DosBox so it sees turboc and Your working copy. For example (more lines for better readability):

start "Space Assault dev"                           # give the window nice title
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe"     # path to Your DosBox installation
-c "mount C C:\Data\projects\dos"                   # path mounted to DosBox's C:, must contain both turbox and working copy
-c "C:" -c "cd spaceass"                            # after starting DosBox, switch to C:/spaceass (in mounted filesystem)
-c "set PATH=C:\turboc\bin"                         # make DOS see the "make" utility
-noconsole                                          # do not open underlying console window for DosBox

5. Simply type make to recompile and build the project.
