Add
--showpaths
early option to show where NetHack is expecting to find certain files
without starting up a game. It exits afterwards.
Windows sample (for illustration only, locations may differ for you):
Variable playground locations:
[hackdir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\"
[leveldir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Local\NetHack\3.6\"
[savedir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Local\NetHack\3.6\"
[bonesdir ]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[datadir ]="C:\personal\nhdev\363\test\binary\"
[scoredir ]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[lockdir ]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[sysconfdir]="C:\ProgramData\NetHack\3.6\"
[configdir ]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\"
[troubledir]="C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\"
Your system configuration file (in sysconfdir):
"C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\sysconf"
Your system symbols file (in sysconfdir):
"C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\symbols"
Your personal configuration file (in configdir):
"C:\Users\JohnDoe\NetHack\3.6\.nethackrc"
Linux (for illustration only, locations may differ for you):
Your system configuration file:
"/home/johndoe/nh/install/games/lib/nethackdir/sysconf"
Your system symbols file:
"/home/johndoe/nh/install/games/lib/nethackdir/symbols"
Your personal configuration file:
"/home/johndoe/.nethackrc"
Game is playable, and should compile on linux and Windows.
Assumes you have a lua 5.3 library available.
Removes level compiler and associated files.
Replaces special level des-files with lua scripts.
Exposes some NetHack internals to lua:
- des-table with commands to create special levels
- nh-table with NetHack core commands
- nhc-table with some constants
- u-table with some player-specific data (u-struct)
- selection userdata
Adds some rudimentary tests.
Adds new extended command #wizloadlua to run a specific script,
and #wizloaddes to run a specific level-creation script.
nhlib.lua is loaded for every lua script.
Download and untar lua:
mkdir lib
cd lib
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
tar zxf lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
Then make nethack normally.
Errors seen during build:

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:849: ../binary/NetHack.exe] Error 1
DEFINE_KNOWN_FOLDER is using this particular definition in the mingw
header files:
rather than this one:
So, the known folder values that recent code is using such as
FOLDERID_ProgramData, FOLDERID_LocalAppData, and FOLDERID_Profile are
being declared as external constants.
That is why the error is a link error. We need to include -luuid on
the link command line because those external constants are defined
in uuid.lib.
mingw-w64 sys/winnt/Makefile.gcc required a Windows version bump from
0x0501 to 0x0601 (XP level to Windows 7 level) during compile in
order for the mingw system header files to include some of the
needed support for recent Windows port changes.
make typedef of boolean match mingw header files
link with shell32 and ole32 as Makefile.msc now had to do
kludge some stuff missing from mingw headers in sys/winnt/windmain.c
