add SYSCF docs to the Guidebook because it's info needed in a binary distro
Guidebook.tex - also add some missing italics to some "NetHack" occurances
call nethack.org "official"
Guidebook.txt - didn't regenerate cleanly so no diff
add SEDUCE to SYSCF (only partly inspired by the recent email)
Add a man page for makedefs so mdgrep is documented better.
Add missing INSURANCE to mdgrep.h. (yes, LIFE leaks in as well)
Add makefile bits to build makedefs.txt.
Pass dungeon.def through mdgrep internally to makedefs - this will make
it possible to commit the LIFE patch and have config.h actually turn it
all the way off (by skipping bigrm-6).
This is all tiny stuff - allow overriding WIDENED_PROTOTYPES from the hints
file, missing NO_SIGNAL conditionals, remove a GCC-ism, conditional indentation,
void return in a non-void function.
MAC is defined for MacOS 9 but not for 10 (and it shouldn't be). Add a MACOSX
define and use it in eat.c to pick up the joke meant for all Mac systems.
Add missing check for NO_SIGNAL in PANICTRACE versionof NH_abort().
Fix indentation of pre-processing directives.
Add #endif comments to make things clearer.
On crash signal or panic(), use a configurable method to get a stacktrace
the user can easily report to us. Currently only for Unix/Linux and only
ifdef BETA. Hopefully ports can add additional methods.
Bits:
- linux hints file had PREFIX definition in the wrong place
- sample sysconf file used wrong delimiter for WIZARDS
- fix grammar error in support message when using sysconf.wizards
- options.c comment typo
- capitalize "Crash test" output from #panic command
PORTS: Please make sure I've done the right thing for/to your code.
This patch adds a new winproc that lets the window port approve or cancel
the suspend request - this should take care of the Mac Qt lockup issue.
In addition, Unix suspend is restricted to accounts that can use the shell
if SYSCF is defined.
update file headers
add "#-PRE" and "#-POST" keywords (no default) so hints file can wrap Makefile.*
add make var with name of makefile (e.g. MAKEFILE_TOP) so hints file can be
conditional on the file
add skeletel Mac Qt packaging target
add missing aux file generation for Mac Term packaging
If SHELLDIR is null, don't install nethack.sh. Also a tid in Porting
and add NHSROOT to the Makefiles which gives a path to the top of the
tree (so e.g. you can always find makedefs from a rule in a hints file).
Will require additional work for 3.5 (shouldn't blindly remove perm_lock
without asking the user; update comments; add standard headers) but I don't
want to lose this code.
Add sys/unix/sysconf, a sample sysconf file.
Move defines from topten.c to config.h so they can be seen globally.
Add persmax, pers_is_uid, entrymax, and pointsmin to struct sysopt, use
in topten.c, populate in files.c
Warning cleanup in files.c.
BUGFIX: don't crash in unixmain.c if WIZARDS left unspecified.
hints/macosx10.5: don't hardcode "keni"; install sample sysconf; install
sample ~/nethackrc
makedefs: add "system configuration" to compiled-with options list.
BUGFIX: if a game doesn't meet the criteria for making the record file it's
shown to the user as having zero points because t1->points is set to zero
to indicate that it doesn't get written back; display u.urexp instead.
use makedefs --grep in Makefile.doc
call make clean in doc from make clean in top
add commented out rule to produce mdgrep.h from mdgrep.pl
macosx1.5: don't chown/chgrp for single-user install
unixmain.c: work around C90 warning for Mac-specific code, fix last fix
makedefs.c: temporarily disallow blank after control introducer until docs
catch up
mdgrep.pl: add ALLDOCS, clean up generated file's header
Finally found a flag combination that will complain about declarations mixed in
with other code: -ansi -pedantic.
Clean up the violations of that I just introduced and add that flag to the
Mac 10.5 hints file. (Note that there is one warning left in unixmain.c -
it's in Mac-specific code.)
Add SHELLERS - people allowed to use ! command with same syntax as WIZARDS.
Add new hints file for 10.5, since the rules and commands for groups changed
(new commands introduced in 10.4, old ones removed in 10.5; creating a new
user under 10.4 gave you a matching group, in 10.5 it doesn't). Also move
shared build into roughly right place in file system when being installed
for root - don't use ~root.
Makefile.top - don't remove ./-p unless it exists (that's always annoyed me).
fix error invoking macosx.sh
More warning bits that never got committed.
More appropriate compiler flags for warning checks (macosx only for the moment).
The changes in dgn*[lc] just rename line_number to nh_line_number to avoid a
clash, so no need to regenerate the lex output.
get macosx down to one hints file (default tty, single user) for
tty, x11, qt and single or multiple users
preliminary bits that might allow a macosx qt build
Add MAXPLAYERS to SYSCF config file; deprecate (but continue to support)
MAX_NR_OF_PLAYERS in nethack.sh since it is trivially overridden in many
(all?) cases and isn't useful for ports that don't use nethack.sh.
This code (except for some of the argument parsing changes) is not used yet.
mdgrep.pl generates mdgrep.h; like the lex and yacc files we ship mdgrep.h
pre-generated; there is no need for perl on end-user/end-compiler systems.
(In fact mdgrep.h is so simple mdgrep.pl is probably overkill.)
mdgrep.h creates an array reflecting the compiler options in effect
The changes to makedefs break the Mac OS9 compile; if necessary the fix is
simple and documented (but I think that port is permanently dead).
With that port out of the way, makedefs can be allowed to take real options;
none of the current options have been changed. Instead, a second sub-main
routine has been added to handle options starting with two hyphens and all
the new options start with two hyphens:
--input specifies the input file (- is stdin)
--output specifies the output file (- is stdout)
--grep causes the input file to be filtered into the output file
--grep-showvars dumps the info from the array in mdgrep.h
--grep-trace turns on tracing of the grep filtering
Docs for the filtering language are in the source.
infrastructure for "system options" - things currently specified at build
time that should be changeable at install time or run time but not really
under user control
generalize contact info so it can be localized and it doesn't have to be
an email address
move recently introduced WIZARDS into sysopt
drop bogus OPTIONS=wizards possibility
new function build_english_list() to comma-ize and add 'or' from a whitespace separated list: A. A or B. A, B, or C.
syscf file now handles: WIZARDS SUPPORT RECOVER
SUPPORT specifies local support information
RECOVER will eventually supply port-specific and/or localized info on how
to run recover (or get it run for you).
Note: in sys/msdos I changed sys.o (generated from pcsys.c) to pcsys.o
Note: sys/msdos/Makefile.GCC has 2 rules for sys.o (now pcsys.o)
Add options SYSCF (to add a system-wide configuration file) and SYSCF_FILE
(for a file-based implementation of SYSCF) - this allows a binary distribution
to be configured at install time. The only option supported at this time is
WIZARDS - a list of usernames which can use -D; currently only for unix-likes
but should be extendable to anything that has a concept of multiple users.
Add mac tty multiuser config using sgid.
Add a hints file for an ubuntu tty build and skip xset if no fonts.dir
file exists (this test will probably need another tweak, but I need a
linux x11 build first to test it).
build system.
Anyone who wants to do a build from sys/unix and doesn't want to figure this
out just needs to do:
sh setup.sh hints/unix
instead of:
sh setup.sh
and then continue on as usual.
New files:
sys/unix/NewInstall.unx - the new directions
sys/unix/hints/* - the hints files. There will be more later.
sys/unix/mkmkfile.sh - helper for setup.sh
Summary of changes:
see NewInstall.unx for info on the new build system
introduction of various preprocessor symbols to turn options off that
are defaulted on historically
comment out nethackrc (and similar) entries that still use the old symbol
syntax.
commenting out of Makefile.* lines that now come from hints/unix
GAMEDIR is replaced with HACKDIR so the Makefiles and the C source agree.
Note that I have NOT changed the docs and/or Makefiles for be, msdos, os2,
vms, or winnt. If port maintainers don't then I will, but I can't test
those ports.
nethack.sh now handles the font path automatically

Subject: patch: missing amiga bits
Hi,
here are some missing bits from the amigafiles.
Current source compiles fine, seems to work ok (launches, runs, opens windows
and quits as usual). I haven't had much time to test it rigorously (or play
at all), but I don't remember there having been any major changes that would've
affected the amigaport, so it probably should be okay as it is.
