- If you want to obtain the djgpp cross-compiler and tools/libs for MSDOS,
which is available for linux and macOS, you can use the following script
to obtain it:
sh sys/msdos/fetch-cross-compiler.sh
That script won't install anything, it is just file fetches. It will
store the cross-compiler in subfolders of lib and the hints files are
configured to find it appropriately there.
Note: Both the fetch and the msdos cross-compile package target require
unzip and zip to be available on your host build system.
Cross-compiler bits:
https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp
and the pre-built binary for your platform from:
https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/releases/download/v3.0/
and a DOS-extender (for including in msdos packaging) from
http://sandmann.dotster.com/cwsdpmi/csdpmi7b.zip
and pdcurses from:
https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses.git
The MSDOS cross-compile can then be carried out by specifying
CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 on the make command line.
For example:
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 all
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 package
You can explicitly include tty and curses support if desired, otherwise
you'll end up with a tty-only cross-compile build:
make WANT_WIN_TTY=1 WANT_WIN_CURSES=1 CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 all
Also note that building the msdos targets using the make command
above, does not preclude you from building local linux or macOS
targets as well. Just drop the CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 from the make
command line.
The cross-compiler hints additions are enclosed inside ifdef sections
and won't interfere with the non-cross-compile build in that case.
This README provides the instructions for building the unofficial Mac binaries using the Apple provided developer IDE named XCode. Establish a developer team in XCode =================================== Your first step should be to establish a developer team within XCode. Launch XCode and open the preferences diaglog (XCode Menu->Preferences). Select the "Accounts" tab. Add an account (usually this should just be your apple ID accoung you used to setup the Mac). After adding the account, select the account and then add a team (usually this will be just a personal team for Mac Development). Obtain your developer team identifier ===================================== Your DEVELOPMENT_TEAM can be found by opening Keychain Access (found by Finder->Applications->Utilities). Click on "My Certificates". Look for your "Mac Developer" certificate. Right click on the certificate to open a dialog that shows certificate details. Look for "Organizational Unit" among the details. This ten digit value is your development team identifier. Create XCodeLocal.xcconfig file =============================== Now you need to create the XCodeLocal.xcconfig file that will be used by XCode to get your development team identifier. Create the file in sys/unix and add a single line such as: DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = XXXXXXXXXX Where XXXXXXXXXX is replaced with your development team identifier. Open the project and build ========================== In XCode open the project file sys\unix\NetHack.xcodeproj, select the product NetHack and build. The build results are placed in ~nethackdir.
