Installing NetHack with a Qt or KDE interface
---------------------------------------------
This document describes the installation of NetHack with a Qt interface
on UNIX/X11 or Mac OS X. This code should also work with Qt/Windows, but
support for that is not currently official.
You can download Qt for UNIX and Qt for Windows from http://www.trolltech.com.
Qt for Mac OS X is currently only available commercially. You need Qt 2.0 or
later to use this code.
To use this code:
1. follow the directions for the UNIX installation (in ../../sys/unix)
to create the Makefiles.
2. ../../include/config.h
define QT_GRAPHICS (search for it). You can comment out
TTY_GRAPHICS if you want to, or leave it in to support both
interfaces (in which case be sure you have the right curses
libraries etc. required for that interface).
3. ../../src/Makefile
ensure your QTDIR environment variable was set correctly when
you installed Qt - $QTDIR/include/qwidget.h should exist, for
example.
ensure CXX and LD are set to the compiler and linker you need
for compiling and linking C++ software (e.g., set both to g++).
add $(WINQTSRC), $(WINQTOBJ), and $(WINQTLIB) to WINSRC, WINOBJ,
and WINLIB respectively, and compile. This will give you an
executable supporting both Qt and tty windowing.
4. ../../Makefile (the top-level makefile)
change the VARDATND setting to contain the files "x11tiles",
"rip.xpm", and "nhsplash.xpm":
VARDATND = x11tiles rip.xpm nhsplash.xpm
5. Follow all the instructions in ../../sys/unix/Install.unx for
the remainder of the installation process.
6. Consider adding the lines below to your .nethackrc, as they are
likely to give the best interface for this window port:
OPTIONS=name:player,number_pad,menustyle:partial,!time,showexp
OPTIONS=hilite_pet,toptenwin,msghistory:200,windowtype:Qt
If you are using KDE, you may want to also try the KDE version. It just
uses the KDE menubar and follows other KDE conventions - there is no
extra functionality. To do so, first ensure that you have KDE 2.x
libraries on your system (in 1999 KDE 1.x was the norm); then, add
$(KDECXXFLAGS) to the CXXFLAGS definition, $(KDELFLAGS) to the LFLAGS
definition and $(WINKDELIB) to WINLIB. Some additional files here -
knh-mini.xpm, knh.xpm, and knethack.lnk are useful if you want to
install "knethack" in the KDE games directory.
