Fixes#94
I thought maintenance of this was going to be automated?
Add missing special levels: bigroom6..10.lev and medusa3..4.lev
in the generated at build time section of dat/.
I'm not sure of the status for possibly maintaining 'Files' via
automation, so manually add the new file 'gitinfo.sh' to sys/unix.
There was a sys/unix/hints file that wasn't listed, so add linux-qt4.
The whole win/Qt4 subdirectory is missing though. I don't even
remember that being added.
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.
Several people seem to be confused about config file and what to
put in it. Perhaps this'll help a bit. The options are mostly
in alphabetical order, except where it makes sense to group
them together.
Also add fixes36.1 to the Files
SYSCF is enabled by default, but nethack won't run without the required
sysconf file. sys/vms/install.com expects to find a template one in
sys/vms/sysconf so create that.
Since the tarball will need repackaging, fix a comment typo (dyslexic
spelling of "nymph") in sys/unix/sysconf. Also, move DEBUGFILES to the
bottom so that more useful entries move up. And expand the comment for
the PANICTRACE options.
Add missing 'sysconf' to sys/unix/ and sys/winnt/ sections of Files.
Update sys/unix/sysconf; I started out just to remove the duplicate
DEBUGFILES entry but ended up expanding several of the comments too.
Also, fix a typo in the vms build/install instructions.
README - add VMS back as a tested platform; thanks KevinS!
dat/history - add VMS update, remove trailing whitespace, two spaces;
instead of just one (recently added stuff) for sentence separation;
sys/vms/Install.vms - minimal update;
Files - reformat the win32 project section to fit within 80 columns.
Changes to be committed:
modified: Files
deleted: sys/winnt/Makefile.bcc
modified: sys/winnt/Makefile.gcc
modified: win/win32/winMS.h
Since borland Makefile isn't operational, remove it for
this release as recommended.
Changes to install.nt pending.
* Add missing entry for include/tile.h to (top)/Files; also
add new entry for generated file util/tiletxt.c (Unix only);
* Add several missing entries for tile utility programs that
can be built by sys/unix/Makefile.utl to util/.gitignore;
* Update sys/unix/Makefile.utl to build 'tilemap' differently so
that it won't leave behind an unwanted subdirectory tree under OSX:
util/tilemap.dSYM/
util/tilemap.dSYM/Contents/
util/tilemap.dSYM/Contents/Info.plist
util/tilemap.dSYM/Contents/Resources/
util/tilemap.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/
util/tilemap.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/tilemap
It now generates util/tiletxt.c on the fly, to be compiled into
tiletxt.o, so that tilemap.c can be compiled in the ordinary
manner and tilemap.o can be kept around for dependency checking.
(Creating real source file win/share/tiletxt.c would be a little
bit cleaner, but it's effectively two lines long so seems silly
to be in the source distribution.) I looked to see whether I
could find a linker or compiler option to suppress that stuff but
failed. I'm sure something of the sort must exist but didn't
pursue it. Someday I might actually learn about how OSX works....
