nethack.rankin 44cc716fe4 enhanced interactive role selection (trunk only)

[See cvs log for src/role.c for a much longer description.]

     When picking role, race, and so forth, new menu entries allow you to
pick any of the other items before the one currently being handled.  After
picking all four of race, role, gender, and alignment (or if you answered
'y' to "shall I pick for you?"), there is a followup prompt to confirm the
choices.  It's a menu which also provides a chance to rename the character.

     This has only been implemented in win/tty's player_selection(), with
some support code in the core that might be useful to other interfaces.
And so far, the chance to rename is only presented as a menu choice if
you've given an answer to "who are you?" prompt earlier during startup.
Also, ports that use pcmain.c aren't able to perform hero renaming yet.

README

This file is sys/be/README.  It is for those intending to compile
NetHack 3.5 on a BeOS 4.5 system.

BeOS NetHack currently only supports the TTY windowing system.  In
order to compile it, it would benefit you greatly to think of your Be
system as a UNIX variant.  It is possible to compile using BeIDE.
However, there are four executables and several steps involved in making
NetHack.  Unless you are extremely familiar with the build sequence and
are willing to modify the code somewhat, I suggest you avoid it for now.
Let the UNIX Makefiles take care of all that for you.


Known problems:
+ No special characters for walls.  None of the fonts available for use
  in a tty window has the graphics characters needed to improve the look.
  If such a font existed, then all you need to do is set the dungeon,
  object, and/or monter mappings in your defaults file.
+ The arrow keys don't work.



Build instructions.  From a freshly unpacked source tree:

1. Copy the Makfiles in sys/unix to their proper spots.  You may
   use setup.sh or copy them by hand.  Using setup.sh to create
   links instead of copying the Makefiles will work, but BeOS will
   not let you edit a link.   It may be helpful to read
   sys/unix/Install.unx.

2. Edit src/Makefile:
	o Change System to SysBe.
	o Comment out the UNIX versions of SYSSRC and SYSOBJ variables.
	o Uncomment the BeOS versions of SYSRC and SYSOBJ.
	o Uncomment the BeOS versions of CC, CFLAGS, LD, and LFLAGS.  The
	  flags are different for Intel vs BeBox/Mac.
	o Uncomment one of the Intel or BeBox/Mac BeOS versions of CC, CFLAGS,
	  LD, and LFLAGS.
	o Comment out the default CFLAGS and LFLAGS.
	o Change WINTTYLIB to be -ltermcap.

3. Edit util/Makefile:
	o If on a BeBox/Mac:
	  - Uncomment the BeOS versions of CC and CFLAGS
	  - Comment out the default CFLAGS and LFLAGS.
	o If on Intel:
	  - the default values of CFLAGS and LFLAGS work fine
	o Change YACC and LEX to be bison -y and flex respectively.

4. Edit include/config.h to change HACKDIR to be the location of your
   install directory.

5. Edit top level Makefile and change GAMEDIR to match HACKDIR in
   include/config.h.  Make sure the path to GAMEDIR exists.  Change
   SHELLDIR to a "throw away" directory, like /tmp.  We don't use the
   shell.  Change CHOWN and CHGRP commands to "true", there really
   aren't groups on the BeOS.

6. Type "make install" at the top level.



It is possible that some necessary steps needed to make the game have been
omitted.  Feel free to ad-lib as necessary.
