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.
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.
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
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
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
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 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).
