This patch fixes the MinGW Makefile:
- Adds support for the keystroke DLL.
DLLs are interchangeable between gcc and msc builds.
- Gets the Makefile to work for Win95 and friends
- Adds the -mms-bitfields flag to ensure savefile compatibility between
MinGW and MSC files
- Fixes various minor issues: layout, make spotless, and some duplicate
commands that are now governed by a new tag ($(O)gamedir.tag).
- Move the code for keystroke handling into its own source file.
- Compile and link it as a dynamic link library.
- Dynamically load the keystroke handler at runtime
- Add support for specifying a different handler in defaults.nh
so that internationalization issues can be dealt with without
rebuilding nethack, just supply alternative handlers in HACKDIR.
The following exported functions need to be present in
the keystroke handler .dll:
ProcessKeystroke - returns an ascii value to NetHack
NHkbhit - allows peeking to see if a key/mouse press is waiting
SourceWhere - returns location for souce code for a keystroke handler
SourceAuthor - returns author information for a keystroke handler
KeyHandlerName - returns the full or short name of the keystroke handling dll.
-better handling of "more" prompt for messages that would have scrolled off the window
-support perm_invent
-menu option to add/remove windows captions
<Someone> noticed that if one builds something in util and the required .o
files aren't already built in src, the .o gets placed in the wrong place.
Added the missing '-o $@' to the compilation command.
Reported on RH 7.2 and 8.0. Compilation failed because system headers that
needed _GNU_SOURCE on these Redhat versions got included before it was
defined. To ensure _GNU_SOURCE is defined, added an autodetect for it to
config1.h and removed the need to set it in unixres.c. __linux__ is also
checked elsewhere.
I'm updating the official binary to be built on a Redhat 8.0 system. This
should give the binary some legs if we take a while to get the next release out.
1) Update documentation for using bison/flex
2) Fix use of $(CC). In the makefile, it's supposed to be $(cc).
Otherwise it won't compile. [caused during recent dependency
updates]
The CE ports use makedefs hosted on another platform,
so the version string generated at build time isn't really
appropriate.
Add a way to add information to the version string
at runtime for such ports.
a few plines that were without punctuation. There may be more non-DEBUG
pline or pline-like things that are still missing punctuation. They are
almost impossible to find after the fact, since they could be anywhere,
including in various dat files and functions that pass strings and formats
into other functions that call pline.
Provide a way to have a port-specific debug-mode commands
if PORT_DEBUG is defined at build time.
Add a win32 keystroke checking routine to assist debugging
of international keyboards.
Fix a problem with the way NetHack was handling
international keyboards by letting ToAscii() come
up with an input character based on the virtual key,
and the shift and caps lock state.
