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.
Other half of the Debian reproducible-builds patch. For Unix
Makefile.top, explicitly set locale to generic 'C' when running
'dlb' during install, so that wildcard expansion will yield a
predictable ordering regardless of collation order specified by
the local enviroenment. Otherwise contents of the 'nhdat'
container might be different--when viewed as a single data file
itself--during subsequent rebuild even when no changes to source
or data have been made and each module inside remains the same.
This assumes that locale doesn't matter during generation of any
of the data files (whether destined for dlb or not). I don't
think the utility programs attempt any sorting on the fly or
other locale-dependent output but wouldn't swear to that....
Some commented make variables for X11 misspelled 'pilemark.xbm' with
bad '.xbm' suffix.
'symbols' was handled strangely, but it still should have been working
during playground installation. This removes the strangeness but I have
no idea whether it solves #H4015 ('unable to access "symbols" file' for
the Mac OSX binary).
Update the unix Makefiles and the older OSX hints files to handle the
pile marker tile overlay. I didn't touch hints/macosx10.10 and .11
since I think there's still a merge for them pending.
A couple of formatting tweaks for bemain.c are included, for no
compelling reason. What are the odds that anyone will every build
that again?
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.
Pat noted that I neglected to drop the SCCS lines on the files I've been
committing, so clean up those and any others I could find where the SCCS
line date is out of date.
If SHELLDIR is null, don't install nethack.sh. Also a tid in Porting
and add NHSROOT to the Makefiles which gives a path to the top of the
tree (so e.g. you can always find makedefs from a rule in a hints file).
use makedefs --grep in Makefile.doc
call make clean in doc from make clean in top
add commented out rule to produce mdgrep.h from mdgrep.pl
macosx1.5: don't chown/chgrp for single-user install
unixmain.c: work around C90 warning for Mac-specific code, fix last fix
makedefs.c: temporarily disallow blank after control introducer until docs
catch up
mdgrep.pl: add ALLDOCS, clean up generated file's header
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.
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
- tile2x11 would not build because drawing.c now depended on strcmpi which
was (via STRNCMPI not being defined) defined to strncmpi which is
implemented in hacklib.c which needs panic which is defined in... I gave up
on tracking down all the loose ends and changed the strcmpi to strcmp,
which means the handling is case sensitive, but it avoids a bunch of
changes to the way the util/Makefile.
- the symhandling changes introduced a chicken and the egg problem for
ASCIIGRAPH on Unix platforms, which was getting the defn from tcap.h but
that does not get included earlier enough nor often enough. I added a defn
to unixconf.h to mimic ntconf.h, since ASCIIGRAPH is normally defined on Unix.
- options.c included an unused decl for a function named graphics_opts
- Unix Makefile was not installing "symbols". I'm assuming this isn't
supposed to get the DLB treatment.
Build and install the NetHack.ad file, and change the nethack.sh to append
the HACKDIR to the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH. This means users do not have to
do anything special to use the NetHack X11 resources, nor does it require
teaching nethack where the X11 app-defaults directory is. The change also
updates the X11 and linux doc files in a corresponding way.
- Pat noticed that makedefs -z makes both vis_tab.[ch], but they could be
built by two makes via make -j, causing corruption
- make -j at top level failed for similar reasons, added several
dependencies to ensure a valid ordering
- these changes will cause extra things to be built if you "make"
individual targets at the top level, but have little effect it you're a
real power user and "make" the actual target in the right directory
