1. Building NetHack requires a C compiler (either Compaq C, DEC C,
|
||||
VAX C, or GNU C) and VMS version V4.6 or later (but see note #9).
|
||||
This release has been tested with Compaq C V6.4 on Alpha/VMS V7.3-1
|
||||
and with VAX C V3.2 and GNU C 2.7.1 on VAX/VMS V5.5-2. The build
|
||||
procedure (vmsbuild.com) should not need to be modified; it accepts
|
||||
an option for selecting the compiler, and it can detect different
|
||||
versions which might require specific command qualifiers. Versions
|
||||
of VAXC earlier than V2.3 will produce many warning messages (about
|
||||
200 per source file; over to 25,000 total!), but NetHack has been
|
||||
verified to compile, link, and execute correctly when built with VAXC
|
||||
V2.2 using vmsbuild.com. There is also a set of Makefiles suitable for
|
||||
use with MMS or MMK; they may or may not work with other make utilities.

1. Build testing was done using a recent version of HP C (aka Compaq C

probably work too. Ancient VAX C probably will not. The set of
