$ git pull; make clean-git; make run RO_GAME_DIR=/usr/share/games/rocksndiamonds RW_GAME_DIR=/var/games/rocksndiamonds

... RnD pops up! With visible mouse cursor (when I move it) in the splash screen!
Hi, I'm revealing a woeful lack of understanding by asking this, but I will go ahead:

Is there any way I can run the command above on Windows, and have it generate a RnD executable for me? (I assume that generating a RnD executable is what the commands above are resulting in, as opposed to an interpreted form of RnD.)

If it can be done on Windows, and anyone is able to specify the things to install to be able to do that ... and any other tips and tricks... I would be most grateful.

Yes, this should still be possible (and I did it myself many years agon when I had a Windows installation with Cygwin environment installed on it).

You need a decent terminal that runs bash, a C compiler (probably you want to use MinGW) and build tools like "make".

Doing this will require some Linux/Unix skills, and it may be too hard to try for a typical Windows user who is most comfortable with using only the graphical user interface.
