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.
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
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.
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
