After installing qt511-qtbase and qt511-qtmultimedia from macports
on my OSX 10.11 system (there is a qt513 but it requires OSX 10.12),
I can build the Qt interface with hints/macosx10.10-qt by overriding
QTDIR. It doesn't actually need the extra CFLAGS, and without those
I wonder whether the multimedia package is needed either, but I've
left them in. I have changed them to not be passed to the C sources
though, just the C++ ones.
I haven't tried combining with X11 or adding curses.
macosx10.10-qt was derived from an out of date version of
macosx10.10. This tries to make combined X11+Qt behave sanely but
I have no way of testing it.
It appears to require homebrew, at least that's what the construct
$(shell brew ...) to set up QTDIR suggests. That seems iffy and
should at least be documented.
It includes tty along with Qt but lacks support for including the
curses interface so definitely needs more updating.
Avoid the warning that tmpname should be replaced by mkstemp by
replacing tmpname with mkstemp. lua has code to do that but it isn't
trivial to activate while leaving the lua distribution unmodified.
[I've no idea whether nethack's usage even results in liblua ever
creating any temporary files.]
Using nethack's hints to pass -DLUA_USE_POSIX from top Makefile to
lib/lua-$(LUA_VERSION)/Makefile has been tested, building liblua.a
on linux with that has not.
Some platforms compile ncurses in such a way that the tinfo library needs to
be separately linked in (e.g. Gentoo).
The tinfo library is a low-level library being used by and bundled with
ncurses.
Adding '-ltinfo' to WINTTYLIB in the hint files was considered the most robust
solution to this problem. This still works on systems with ncurses 5.9.
Using pkg-config was ruled out as the default build of ncurses doesn't install
the necessary files.
A comment in macosx10.14 describing how to create a signed package
had the last sample command wrong. Fix it now in case that part
carries over to hypothetical--but likely--new macosx10.15 hints.
Also, shorten a couple of wide comment lines in the same area.
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.
Change all the POSTINSTALL 'mkfontdir' to 'mkfontdir -x .lev' although
the mkfontdir version on my system didn't think $(HACKDIR)/*.lev were
font files when I built without dlb.
Also change the PREINSTALL 'cp -n win/X11/nethack.rc ~/.nethackrc' to
keep going if it fails. The linux hints use 'cp -n' for sysconf but
since it is doing so for the playground directory and 'make install'
starts out by clearing away everything in that directory, it shouldn't
fail. But some extra bullet proofing there may be warranted. Only
the initial cp is protected against clobbering an existing file; the
ownership+permission fixups that are applied to the copy of original
file still get applied to an existing one.
travis recently changed linux default dist from trusty to xenial, and bionic is next
include an additional travis linux build under bionic to eliminate surprises there
add a parameter to mkfontdir under linux to prevent it form going after .lev files
Separate the compiler flags used for compiling X11 code from the rest
of CFLAGS. Affects hints/macosx10.8 and later.
Add an explicit output argument to the generated compile rules.
The change to Makefile.src for X11+XPM on linux broke linking X11 on
OSX. This updates the hints files (except for the -qt one) so that
make WANT_WIN_X11=1
and
make WANT_WIN_X11=1 USE_XPM=1
work correctly.
The comment in macosx10.14 about what version(s) it's intended for
and been tested on is just cloned from 10.10 and should be updated.
People have been wondering how to change the tiles on the X11
version, and the old default of NetHack-specific binary tile data
isn't directly editable with image editing tools.
Also show in the #version info if xpm and graphic rip are enabled.
installing the hooks first
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
- 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
Due to the new player selection dialog I did, it was possible
to rename your character - but this didn't rename the lock files
and tried to load a save from the wrong name.
This is a bit of a hack, but seems to work and didn't seem to
cause problems for the tty.
