Attempt to test whether Lua fetch succeeded (and pdcurses for windows
and msdos as well)
If those prerequisite fetches and untars didn't work, just exit without
marking the travis-ci build as a failure so that the development team
isn't notified about something transient that they don't need to fix
in the code.
New procedures added to win/win32/vs2017/travisci.sh for travis-ci testing.
- use curl to obtain Lua from http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.5.tar.gz
- use tar to unzip lua into lib/lua-5.3.5/...
Note: curl and tar were both added as part of Windows 10 in late Dec 2017

- use git to clone pdcurses into lib/pdcurses
- use git to clone universal-ctags into lib/ctags
- build universal-ctags ahead of building NetHack + lua + pdcurses
- adjust sys/winnt/Makefile.msc to look for those things in their lib locations when
building under travis
travis updates for Windows deploy
Change zip file name from NetHack.zip
to
NetHack-x86-beta$TRAVIS_TAG.zip
where $TRAVIS_TAG represents the tag info.
Also, log the commands from the sh script in win/win32/vs2017 to the build log.
Moved the travis visual studio build bash script to live outside of
the travis YML file. Updated the script to use powershell to generate
ZIP file form the binary results.
Deploy Windows build ZIP file to github releases if build has commit
has been tagged. Build will be marked pre-release.
Make some progress on a couple of next minor release checklist
items, hopefully without introducing too many new bugs. This
is just the initial commit, and work continues.
Checklist items:
Savefiles compatible between Windows versions, whether 64-bit
or 32-bit in little-endian field format.
Selection of file formats:
historical (structlevel saves),
lendian (little-endian, fieldlevel saves),
and just for proof-of-concept, ascii fieldlevel saves
(the ascii is huge! 10x bigger than little-endian).
For the fieldlevel save, all complex data structures recursively
get broken down until until it is one of the simple types that
can't be broken down any further, and that gets when it gets
written to the output file.
New files needed for this build:
hand-coded:
include/sfprocs.h
src/sfbase.c - really a dispatcher to one of the
output/input format routines.
src/sflendian.c - little-endian output writer/reader.
src/sfascii.c - ascii text output writer/reader.
auto-coded (generated):
include/sfproto.h
src/sfdata.c
This is just one approach. I'm sure there are countless others
and they have different pros and cons.
For producing the auto-coded files a utility called
universal-ctags, that is actively maintained and evolving,
was used to do all the heavy-lifting of parsing the
NetHack C sources to tabulate the data fields, and store
them in an intermediate file called util/nethack.tags
(not required for building NetHack if you already have a
generated include/sfproto.h and src/sfdata.c)
util/readtags (also not required for building NetHack
itself) will decipher the nethack.tags file and produce
the functions that can deal with the NetHack struct data
fields.
You can obtain the source for universal-ctags by cloning it
from here:
https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags.git
The combination universal-ctags + util/readtags has been
tried and tested under both Windows and Linux, so it is
not tied to a particular platform.
Note: util/readtags will work only with universal-ctags
output, so other ctags are unlikely to work as-is.
Universal-ctags can be build from source very easily
under Linux, or under Windows using visual studio.
Only changes pm.h content if ENUM_PM is defined when compiling
util/makedefs.c
While NON_PM and LOW_PM could be included, it would require
for the makedefs.c compile, as well as an
around their macro definitions in permonst.h so for now those
particular lines are commented out in makedefs.c
