GNU make looks first for a file called GNUmakefile, ahead of
looking for Makefile and then makefile.
Renaming sys/windows/Makefile.mingw32 to sys/windows/GNUmakefile
allows:
o src/GNUmakefile (for use by GNU make) and src/Makefile (for use
Microsoft nmake) to both reside in the src folder during build.
o src/GNUmakefile will be used by GNU make, without having to
explicitly specify "-f GNUmakefile" on the GNU make command line.
o src/Makefile will be used by Microsoft nmake, without having to
explicitly specify "-f Makefile" on the Microsoft nmake command line.
For the gcc build, the movemement of sys/windows/GNUmakefile needs
to be copied to src/GNUmakefile as part of the build process (see
sys/windows/build-msys2.txt).
For the Microsoft Visual Studio command line build with nmake,
sys/windows/Makefile.nmake needs to be copied to src/Makefile as
part of the build process (see sys/windows/build-nmake.txt).
They are both copied to the src folder from their respective
repository source file names when the nhsetup.bat file is used.
sound_verbal(char *text, int32_t gender, int32_t tone, int32_t vol,
int32_t moreinfo);
-- NetHack will call this function when it wants to pass text of
spoken language by a character or creature within the game.
-- text is a transcript of what has been spoken.
-- gender indicates MALE or FEMALE sounding voice.
-- tone indicates the tone of the voice.
-- vol is the volume (1% - 100%) for the sound.
-- moreinfo is used to provide additional information to the soundlib.
-- there may be some accessibility uses for this function.
It may be useful for accessibility purposes too.
A preliminary implementation has been attempted for macsound to test
the interface on macOS. No tinkering of the voices has been done.
Use of the test implementation requires the following at build time with make.
WANT_SPEECH=1
That needs to be included on the make command line to enable the test code,
otherwise just the interface update is compiled in.
I don't know for certain when AVSpeechSynthesizer went into macOS, but older versions
likely don't support it, and would just leave off the WANT_SPEECH=1.
If built with WANT_SPEECH=1, the 'voices' NetHack option needs to be enabled.
It was a bit strange, when I first started up the test, to hear Asidonhopo,
the shopkeeper, talking to me as I entered his shop and interacted with him.
Switch to using the term "sound triggers" for things that
result in a call to one of the soundlib routines.
SNDCAP_* renamed to SOUND_TRIGGER_*
sndcap field in the sound_procs struct changed to sound_triggers
