When we are creating the console font for testing character widths,
we were not specifying width. Because of this, the created font's
average width might be larger then what we expect and we might
falsely detect that the font was inappropriate for playing Nethack.
Fix provides the width that we are expecting when creating the font.
From Bart...
Modified build configuration to use latest SDK available by default.
This change will eliminate the need for us to hard code an SDK
version into our configuration file and will eliminate the need
for developers to set the SDK version when they do not have the
matching SDK version installed. Updated the Install.nt file removing
the mention of having to set the SDK version.
When dgn_comp.l and lev_comp.l are processed by older versions of
flex, 'gcc -Wunused' complains when compiling dgn_lex.c and lev_lex.c
because flex creates 'static void yyunput()' and nethack doesn't use
it. Newer versions honor macro YY_NO_UNPUT to hide the offending
code, but that doesn't help with older versions (like the one
masquerading as 'lex' on OSX). Adding a dummy usage would probably
cause problems with other lexers, so change it from static to
'void yyunput()' as a 'sed' fixup in util/Makefile after flex has
finished. That will be a no-op when yyunput doesn't exist or isn't
static.
In addition to the sys/unix/Makefile.utl change, this checks in new
sys/share/{dgn,lev}_lex.c with the fixup in place.
When make uses 'makedefs -v' to create date.h, force it to create
gitinfo.txt all the time instead of just when that doesn't already
exist. Use 'make GITINFO=0' to get the previous behavior.
To skip it entirely, you need to do that and also make sure that
some file by that name already exists. 'touch dat/gitinfo.txt' or
perhaps 'echo "#no git" > dat/gitinfo.txt' would suffice.
Hide the scary perl command during 'make all' feedback in src/.
I'm not a shell programmer but this works fine for me when skipping
NHgithook::NHversioning because dat/gitinfo.txt is already present,
when creating dat/gitinfo.txt successfully, and when creation fails
because perl can't find NHgithook.pm. It hasn't been tested when
perl itself is absent.

github pull request #19 made reference to resulting code behaviour
being better when windows were resized when USE_WIN_IOCTL was defined.
The logic for including the necessary enabling code in the build in
sys/share/ioctl.c was an explicit "opt-in" strategy, so anything not
deliberately and explicitly listed was not able to take advantae
of the potentially useful code. The need to add #defines to that
list would have been perpetual as new platforms came online, and
unnecessarily restrictive for everything else.
This switches the logic to include the code by default now,
and thus
unless there is an explicit "opt-out" by uncommenting
AVOID_WIN_IOCTL in include/unixconf.h
Some platforms, and we have no way of knowing which ones, may have
to ensure that AVOID_WIN_IOCTL is #define'd.

NHgithook.pm: add some warnings if nhversioning can't open files
make sure nhversioning fails before opening gitinfo.txt if it can't get valid
data
Incorporate some git information into NetHack so that it
is potentially visible to a player. That's useful when
collecting details about the version that they are
running and, if the gitinfo is present, it can tie the
code to a specific git commit in the repository.
This modifies 'makedefs -v' to check for the presence of a data file
called dat/gitinfo.txt and if it is there, parse out its
contents, then write additional lines to include/date.h beyond
what 'makedefs -v' was previously putting in there, similar to
this sample:
#define NETHACK_GIT_SHA "0c84e564c78e2024e562d39539376ce2e21eec8e"
#define NETHACK_GIT_BRANCH "NetHack-3.6.0"
The contents of an appropriate dat/gitinfo.txt are as follows,
and trailing/leading whitespace is not significant:
githash = 0c84e564c78e2024e562d39539376ce2e21eec8e
gitbranch = NetHack-3.6.0
It also adjusts the contents of the 'v' version information to
include the additional git info when available.
Also adds some hooks DEVEL/hooksdir and a perl file to DEVEL
for simplifying and automating the deposit of dat/gitinfo.txt
so that it generally reflects the most current git commit.
DEVEL/gitinfo.pl can be used to build dat/gitinfo.txt at any
time without doing a commit, merge, or checkout.
perl DEVEL/gitinfo.pl
command line --version and -version support
To complement the extra information being provided in the
version by the 'v' command, this also adds support for the
following new command line arguments:
--version
-version Output the NetHack version string then exit.
--version:paste Output the NetHack version string and also copy it to
-version:paste the platform's paste buffer for insertion somewhere,
then exit.
If the paste variation of -version is requested on a platform that
hasn't incorporated any support for the capability, it will deliver
the version info then an error message, prior to exiting.
To support the extended -version:paste variation, a port needs to:
- provide a port-specific routine to perform
the paste buffer copy in a port code file.
- #define RUNTIME_PASTEBUF_SUPPORT in the include/portconf.h header file.
--skeleton--
void port_insert_pastebuf(buf)
char *buf;
{
/* insert code to copy the version info from buf into
platform's paste buffer in a supported way */
}
macosx and Windows have both added support for RUNTIME_PASTEBUF_SUPPORT
- fix bug in git hooks that loses file permissions when doing variable expansion
- fix execute permissions on sys/unix/hints/macosx.sh
- explicitly call out perl as required for hooks in Developer.txt
