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

Instructions for installing NetHack 3.5
|
|
using the new hints system
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
For the moment, we are maintaining two ways to configure NetHack. The
|
|
traditional system, in which Makefiles and includes are edited, and the
|
|
new hints system which should be easier for most users to configure.
|
|
|
|
If you are using the traditional configuration system, see Install.unx.
|
|
|
|
1. Look in the sys/unix/hints directory for a file that matches your system.
|
|
If there isn't one, build one from the other files; if you need more help
|
|
see the traditional instructions (in Install.unx) for hints. When you
|
|
get it right please submit it to us.
|
|
|
|
2. Check the hints file for anything that may need to be changed for your
|
|
installation. Most of the time little or nothing will need to be changed.
|
|
|
|
3. Configure and build:
|
|
"$Top" is the top level source directory (the one with README in it).
|
|
|
|
cd $Top/sys/unix
|
|
sh setup.sh hints/NAME_OF_HINTS_FILE
|
|
cd ../..
|
|
make all
|
|
|
|
If the build fails, remove all the generated files before retrying the
|
|
build with: cd $Top; make spotless
|
|
|
|
4. Install:
|
|
Depending on your configuration, this step may or may not need to be done
|
|
as root; check the hints file.
|
|
cd $Top
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
5. If it all worked, you're done. If something went wrong, see Install.unx
|
|
for information about the settings the hints file tried to automate.
