Unless otherwise mentioned, the compiler used was the OS-vendor's

With the demise of Windows NT on the DEC Alpha, no attempt has been
made to build NetHack 3.5 on that platform.
NetHack 3.5 may also run on the following, but a cross-compiler hosted

No attempt has been made to build or run NetHack 3.5 on Windows Me
at this point. It may work, but then again it may not.
A build for Intel 80286 machines and DOS "real mode" overlaid versions
has not been produced for NetHack 3.5. Nobody on the porting team has
the time or the software to attempt the necessary tuning that will allow
it to achieve the balance of having just the right amount of available
memory, and still have acceptable performance. The sources necessary
to do so are still included in the source distribution, so if someone
has access to a real-mode compiler and lots of spare time on their hands,
you may be able to get things working. Of course you do so at your own risk.

If you've changed something to get NetHack to run on your system, it's likely
that others have done it by making slightly different modifications. By routing
your patches through the development team, we should be able to avoid making
everyone else choose among variant patches claiming to do the same thing, to keep
most of the copies of 3.5 synchronized by means of official patches, and to
maintain the painfully-created file organization. (This process has been working
since the time when everyone just posted their own patches to 2.3. At that time,
there were no archived bug-fixes to give to people who got 2.3 after its initial
release, so the same bugs kept being discovered by new batches of people.)
We have been successful in preventing this from happening since the 3.0
release. Please cooperate to keep this from happening to 3.5.
It is inevitable that we will reject some proposed additions of new features
either because they do not fit our conception of the game, or because they
require more code than we consider they're worth. If we reject your feature,
you are free, of course, to post the patches to the net yourself and let the
marketplace decide their worth.
If a feature is not accepted you are free, of course, to post the patches

All of this amounts to the following: If you decide to apply a free-lanced
