observed: parallel build attempts of makedefs that trampled over
one another.
attempted workaround: Add a dependency as per Pat R's suggestion.
observed: Concurrent header file movement collisions were sometimes
causing file busy errors and build failures.
workaround: Eliminate tile.h header file movement from the
Makefile build so that the collisions won't occur with that
particular file. Leave the header file tile.h in win/share as it
is in the distribution and just adjust the include path in the
rule for the specific files that use it.
observed: tiletxt.c created on-the-fly from Makefile echo statements
sometimes resulted in garbled and duplicate content in it when
parallel makes were involved, and that caused a build failure.
workaround: Instead of creating a tiletxt.c on-the-fly via echo
statements in the Makefile, simplify things and use that
same #include "tilemap.c" approach but make it an actual file
in the distribution. That makes it available for other platforms
too.
Log game events, such as entering a new dungeon level, breaking
a conduct, or killing a unique monster, in a new "Major events"
chronicle. The entries record the turn when the event happened.
The log can be viewed with #chronicle -command, and the entries
also show up in the end-of-game dump, if that is available.
This feature is on by default, but can be disabled by
defining NO_CHRONICLE compile-time option.
This also contains "live logging", writing the events as they
happen into a single livelog-file. This is mostly useful for
public servers. The livelog is off by default, and must be
compiled in with LIVELOG, and then turned on in sysconf.
Mostly this a version of livelogging from the Hardfought server,
with some changes.
Move the help text for the 'O' command from the code into its own file
and allow that to be accessed from the '?' menu as well as by choosing
entry '?' in the 'O' menu.
sys/unix/Makefile.top has been updated to handle new 'optmenu', others
need to catch up. The game will still build and run without the file
but asking for options menu help won't work until they do.
% make spotless
% sh sys/unix/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/macOS.2020
% make fetch-Lua
worked, but the last ended with
|rm include/nhlua.h
|rm: include/nhlua.h: No such file or directory
|make: [fetch-Lua] Error 1 (ignored)
which might frighten skittish users (like me). Check whether the
constructed header file exists (so is assumed to be for an earlier
Lua version) and only delete it in that case. No more scary report
of benign failure when it isn't there (after 'make spotless' or for
brand new source setup).
Also, some time ago we came to the conclusion that 'if [ ]' was an
extension for GNU 'bash' and wouldn't work with some older actual
'sh' implementations. This replaces the one post-3.6 instance of
|if [ ! -d foo ] then bar; fi
in Makefile.top with
|if test -d foo; then true; else bar; fi
Testing was successful but done with bash rather than an old sh. :-}
On some platforms this may require:
make spotless
make fetch-lua
I did attempt to force a reminder message about the latter to
Makefile.top this time, and hope that works correctly for everyone.
Revise Makefile.top to remove the obsolete commands which change
the last modified date of save and bones files during 'make update'.
Using file dates to validate save files against nethack hasn't been
useful for many years.
Also, update assorted comments.
Adds possible callbacks for "start_new_game", "restore_old_game",
"moveloop_turn", and "game_exit" which when defined, will be called
from core code at the appropriate time.
Adds lua hooks for dump_fmtstr (only if DUMPLOG), dnum_name, u.moves,
u.uhave_amulet, and u.depth.
Provide a reasonably straightforward way to leave lua alone when
changing git branches (which I precede with 'make spotless').
make clean-keep-lib
and
make spotless-keep-lib
are new alternate forms of top level 'make clean' and 'make spotless'
that won't touch lib/lua/.
Add a missing update to sys/unix/Makefile.top. Makefile.dat
only requires that tiles2bmp exist, without knowing anything
about whether it needs to be rebuilt. So force Makefile.top to
make sure that it's up to date, similar to how tiles2x11 gets
handled.
I've been ignoring submodules so far. For the old method of
dealing with lua, the instructions
You might need to do
make spotless
make fetch-lua
aren't adequate. They should be
When lua version has changed in Makefile.top, before running
setup.sh to put that new Makefile in place, do
make spotless
then
sys/unix/setup.sh [hints/...]
make fetch-lua
otherwise it will try to clean up the not yet fetched new lua
version instead of the old one.
Because some Makefile.top dependencies triggered the build
of the host native lua library, the cross-compiles were
building it needlessly.
Make it a make variable so that it can be overridden by
cross-compile recipes in sys/unix/hints/include/cross-*.2020
roll parts of pr385 into source tree
This does not take the PR as is.
Unlike the PR, this streamlines and minimizes the integration somewhat:
- use hints/include mechanism instead of creating alternative
Makefile.dat, Makefile.src, Makefile.top, Makefile.utl in sys/lib;
those would have been a maintenance nightmare.
- don't have alternative mkmkfile.sh and setup.sh in sys/lib.
- sys/lib/libnethackmain.c differed from sys/unix/unixmain.c by
very little, so just place a small bit of conditional code at the
top of sys/unix/unixmain.c instead.
- changed the conditional code bits from __EMSCRIPTEN__ to
CROSS_TO_WASM.
- You should be able to build the wasm result by:
cd sys/unix ; sh setup.sh hints/linux.2020 ; cd ../..
make fetch-lua (<-one time)
make WANT_LIBNH all
- You should be able to build LIBNBH by:
cd sys/unix ; sh setup.sh hints/linux.2020 ; cd ../..
make fetch-lua (<-one time)
make CROSS_TO_WASM=1 all
As it is currently coded, winshim.c requires C99.
Expand the use of the sys/unix Makefiles to be used for both normal
local builds and installs, as well as cross-compiles for other
platforms/targets.
Up until now, the primary unix Makefiles have treated util/host-side
component compiles, links and target object files just the same as
the game component compiles, links, and target object files.
Unfortunately, that meant that cross-compile effort typically had
to re-invent Makefiles specific to the cross-compile, creating a
maintenance burden and deviation from the typical local unix build
and providing a daunting obstacle to those that want to establish
build for a target environment/platform.
This change distinguishes between util/host-side component builds,
links, and component builds and targets object files destined for
the game (and other target platforms) in the Makefiles.
In theory, this will ease the effort for people that want to try to
resurrect NetHack perhaps on an old platform where it is no longer
viable to build NetHack-3.7 on the platform itself using old, outdated
compile tools, possibly with an old, outdated C dialect.
Some details:
- Game-related targets in the Makefiles (as opposed to util/host-side
targets that will be executed on the host), which could be destined
for another platform in a cross-compile scenario are prefixed with
$(TARGETPFX) so that they are distinguished.
The default scenario where no cross-compiler is involved, is to
define TARGETPFX to nothing, and therefore meant to have no effect.
- Game-related compile and link commands in the Makefiles and their
associated command line flags are distinguished from util/host-side
compile and link commands in the Makefiles by using $(TARGET_CC),
$(TARGET_CFLAGS), $(TARGET_LINK), $(TARGET_LFLAGS), $(TARGET_CXX),
$(TARGET_CXXFLAGS), $(TARGET_LIBS).
Those are used in the Makefile in place of $(CC), $(CFLAGS), $(LINK),
$(LFLAGS), $(CXX), $(CXXFLAGS), $(LIBS).
The default scenario where no cross-compiler is involved, defines
the TARGET_ version of those Makefile variables to match their
typical non-TARGET_ ounterparts.
- The dependency lists in the Makefiles includes the $(TARGETPFX)
prefix for stuff that would potentially be produced from a
cross-compile build.
- It adds pregame targets and $(PREGAME) variable, so that hints files
can add some additional stuff if required for a cross-compile
scenario.
The default scenario where no cross-compiler is involved doesn't
do anything for $(PREGAME).
- It adds $(BUILDMORE) target and variable, so that hints files
can add some additional things to be built for a cross-compile
scenario.
- It adds a "package" target and $(PACKAGE) variable, so that hints files
can add steps for the target platform in a cross-compile
scenario.
The "install" target assumes local build and placement and
isn't really applicable to a cross-compile scenario where the results
really just need to be bundled up for transport to the target platform.
- Also, this adds a pair of include files that can be updated with some
cross-compile recipes as they evolve. They are named "cross-pre.2020"
(for stuff to be included in the PRE section) and "cross-post.2020"
for stuff to be included in the POST section via sys/unix/setup.sh.
Those are included in sys/unix/hints/linux.2020 and
sys/unix/hints/macOS.2020 hints files.
Avoid the warning that tmpname should be replaced by mkstemp by
replacing tmpname with mkstemp. lua has code to do that but it isn't
trivial to activate while leaving the lua distribution unmodified.
[I've no idea whether nethack's usage even results in liblua ever
creating any temporary files.]
Using nethack's hints to pass -DLUA_USE_POSIX from top Makefile to
lib/lua-$(LUA_VERSION)/Makefile has been tested, building liblua.a
on linux with that has not.
Allows creating shaped or themed rooms for the Dungeons of Doom
via lua script.
Invalidates bones and saves.
Makefiles updated for unix/linux by adding themerms.lua, but other
OSes need to have that added.
In sys/unix/Makefile.{top,src}, move the 'all' target first so that
it's the default if no target is specified. Recent lua handling
unintentionally broke that for Makefile.top by putting 'lua_support'
target in front of 'all'.
Copy lib/lua-$(VERSION)/src/liblua.h to lib/lua/ rather than lib/.
Instead of copying any of the header files or telling the compiler
where to find the lua ones, generate include/nhlua.h on the fly and
restrict the knowledge of where they are to it (paths are relative
to include/).
|/* nhlua.h - generated by top Makefile */
|#include "../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lua.h"
|LUA_API int (lua_error) (lua_State *L) NORETURN;
|#include "../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lualib.h"
|#include "../lib/lua-5.3.5/src/lauxlib.h"
|/*nhlua.h*/
This might need to be redone (or augmented by having CFLAGS add back
'-I path-to-lua') if some compiler can't find '#include "luaconf.h"'
issued by lua.h.
Reduce the implied reliance of a specific version of lua.
Instead of copying liblua.a to src/, copy it to lib/. Instead of
telling the compiler to look for headers in lib/lua-5.3.5/src/ as
well as in include/, copy the relevant ones to lib/ and tell the
compiler to look for them there. 'make spotless' in src/ will
remove both the object library and the header files from lib/ but
there really should be a new Makefile.lib to take care of that
directory.
Update Makefile.src to be able to build lua in case someone starts
with 'make all' there instead of in the top Makefile. It doesn't
duplicate the option to fetch the lua source package though.
NHinternal/../genFiles.c has been updated to mention lib/liblua.a
and lib/lua*.h as 'generated at compile time' in Files and to skip
lib/lua-* entirely if it comes across that (so not operating on a
completely clean tree). But it won't be accurate unless/until
other ports stage their lua files there instead of in src/ and
lib/lua-$(VERSION)/src/.
I haven't tried 'make depend' to see what it makes of the numerous
changes....
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.
Make the whatdoes ('&' or '?f') command support the 'altmeta' option
for meta-characters generated by two character seqeunce 'ESC char'.
Also, make it be more descriptive when reporting "no such command"
by including the numeric value it operated on when failing to match
any command. That might provide a way for us to get some extra
information when players report problems with odd keystrokes: we ask
them to type such at the "what command?" prompt and then tell us what
numbers come up.
It's been given a help file to deal with assorted idiosyncracies
which can come up when querying what keys do. Unfortunately that
ended up being way more verbose than intended.
Installation of the extra data file has only been done for Unix.
Other platforms will get "can't open file" if they respond with
'&' or '?' to the "what command?" prompt. The command will still
work though, just without the extra text.
Other half of the Debian reproducible-builds patch. For Unix
Makefile.top, explicitly set locale to generic 'C' when running
'dlb' during install, so that wildcard expansion will yield a
predictable ordering regardless of collation order specified by
the local enviroenment. Otherwise contents of the 'nhdat'
container might be different--when viewed as a single data file
itself--during subsequent rebuild even when no changes to source
or data have been made and each module inside remains the same.
This assumes that locale doesn't matter during generation of any
of the data files (whether destined for dlb or not). I don't
think the utility programs attempt any sorting on the fly or
other locale-dependent output but wouldn't swear to that....
Some commented make variables for X11 misspelled 'pilemark.xbm' with
bad '.xbm' suffix.
'symbols' was handled strangely, but it still should have been working
during playground installation. This removes the strangeness but I have
no idea whether it solves #H4015 ('unable to access "symbols" file' for
the Mac OSX binary).
Update the unix Makefiles and the older OSX hints files to handle the
pile marker tile overlay. I didn't touch hints/macosx10.10 and .11
since I think there's still a merge for them pending.
A couple of formatting tweaks for bemain.c are included, for no
compelling reason. What are the odds that anyone will every build
that again?
This makes installing NetHack on a public server much easier.
Required some minor changes to the unix top-level Makefile, and
the other hints files; Makefile variable HACKDIR may not be a
full path anymore, use INSTDIR instead.
