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.
Originally by Ray Chason for 3.4.3, based on the Qt windowport by
Warwick Allison. The look and feel is mostly the same.
Some improvements over the Qt 3 interface are:
* Panes are resizable
* Full support for IBMgraphics, and walls and corridors are drawn with
graphical primitives for a continuous appearance no matter what the font
says
* Lots of irritating glitches fixed
* Menus support proportional fonts correctly
Adding this because the old Qt windowport cannot be compiled on Qt4,
even with Qt3 compatibility stuff.
TODO:
- background map glyphs
- status hilites
- menucolors
On OSX, one of the XQuartz header files triggers a compiler warning
about using a gcc extension, resulting in a diagnostic for each of
the files compiled with the WANT_WIN_X11 set of CFLAGS. Use the
same fix as hints/macosx10.8 already does.
