of prerequisite packages in order to successfully build with support for
additional interfaces. See below.

| MacOS | tty | WANT_WIN_TTY | none |
|----------+-------+-----------------+--------------------------------------|
| MacOS | curses| WANT_WIN_CURSES | ncurses development libraries |
|----------+-------+-----------------+--------------------------------------|
| MacOS | X11 | WANT_WIN_X11 | You will need to obtain and |
| | | | install XQuartz if you want X11 |
| | | | support in your build. |
| | | | (Attempting to run X11.app will |
| | | | describe where to get it) |
| | | | |
| | | | One possible way: |
| | | | brew install xquartz |
| | | | brew install libxft |
| | | | brew install fontconfig |
| | | | brew install freetype |

| MacOS | Qt | WANT_WIN_QT | You will need to obtain and |
| | | | install Qt if you want Qt |
| | | | support in your build. |
| | | | |
| | | | One possible way: |

| Linux | curses|WANT_WIN_CURSES=1| If it isn't already included |

| | | | possible way: |

| | | | sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev |
|----------+-------+-----------------+--------------------------------------|
| Linux | X11 | WANT_WIN_X11=1 | Here is one possible way to obtain |

| | | |sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev |
| | | |sudo apt-get install libxaw7-dev |
| | | |sudo apt install xfonts-utils |

| | | |Another odd note about Qt on Linux is |
| | | |that if you find you are getting the |
| | | |following error trying to run NetHack |
| | | |after you build it with Qt support: |
| | | |"error while loading shared |
| | | |libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot |
| | | |open shared object file: No such file |
| | | |or directory", |
| | | |you may have to fix that (one-time) |
| | | |by issuing the command below: |
| | | | |
| sudo strip \ |
| --remove-section=.note.ABI-tag/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5 |
