I am also with you about the compile thing. I even went and did a dual boot
install on my PC so that I could try to compile a Linux source package so
that I could get some of the patches to work, and I have not been able to
compile it yet even after hours of effort, research, and more effort.
I am planning to write a Compile Spoiler that actually will help someone
that doesn't know a PC's programming in binary (overstatement there, but I
am pissed too), once I figure out how to compile myself. I will be a hero.
Compiling Nethack from source is a somewhat annoying thing because it uses manual makefile. The nethack source code predates configure scripts I was told. There is a Nethack fork out there that does use configure scripts.
http://auto-nethack.sourceforge.net
But...it is not too difficult to compile the "traditional" way and once you do it, you can follow your "recipe" the next time.
Here's my recipe, which I use to compile Nethack on my PS2 Linux kit, the main difference between my recipe and "normal" x86 Linux is that I add -lc to LIBS
HOWTO compile Nethack on Linux for Playstation 2
by Ron Rogers Jr. Cronocloud@xxxxxxxxx
This HOWTO is oriented towards those who are new to Linux and compiling in
general.
I will try to make as few assumptions as possible, but this will be much easier
if you know how to get around the filesystem in a terminal and are able use the
vi editor in a basic fashion.
What you will need:
A Playstation 2 with the Linux kit installed (and running).
A copy of the nethack source, which can be acquired from:
http://www.nethack.org
Nothing else is necessary. It is possible to download and compile Nethack on
a freshly installed kit. The first person to report compiling Nethack on Linux
for Playstation 2 (outside of Japan anyway) was user name ps2tunes on June 7 of
2002, very soon after kits had shipped to users in North America.
This HOWTO will create a binary with tty (and terminal in x), X11 tiled mode
and QT support. the QT interface does not display does not display well on tele-
visions. Neither does the console tty because of color issues.
Gnome support is experimental and did not compile for me.
Get the sources from http://www.nethack.org. You want the plain unadulterated
source code.
Bring up a terminal window, I tend to use rxvt.
Might as well become root now:
su
then the root password
Put the nethack sources in /usr/src
mv nh343.tgz /usr/src
cd into the /usr/src directory
cd /usr/src
You can now un-archive the tarball:
tar -xvzf nh343.tgz (or whatever tarball you have)
cd into the created directory
let's take a look at what's here:
ls
It should look like this:
Files Porting README dat doc include src sys util win
Read the README:
less README
cd sys/unix chmod a+x setup.sh
../setup.sh
have to edit /include/config.h
enable X11 graphics
enable Qt graphics
enable #define use_xpm
comment out use compress and compress extension
enable use gzip and gz but use /bin/gzip as the path to it.
enable #define DLB
enable score on botl
enable #define autopickup exceptions
edit include/unixconf.h
enable #define Linux
enable #timed delay
edit src/Makefile
enable CC=gcc
enable compile normally cflags and lflags
disable debugging flags
remove comment from LINKS line in QT section
remove tile.o from WINTQTOBJ
add $(WINX11SRC) to WINSRC
add $(WINQTSRC) to WINSRC
add $(WINX11OBJ) to WINOBJ
add $(WINQTOBJ) to WINOBJ
enable WINTTYLIB lncurses
disable WINTTYLIB termlib
add -lXpm to WINX11LIB
ADD $(WINX11LIB) to WINLIB
add $(WINQTLIB) to WINLIB
add -lc to LIBS
edit util/Makefile
enable CC= gcc
enable Linux compile normally CFLAGS and LFLAGS
disable debugging flags
add -lc to LIBS
disable YACC = yacc
disable LEX = lex
enable YACC = bison -y
enable LEX = flex
edit top Makefile
edit these as follows
GAMEGRP = games
GAMEPERM = 02755
FILEPERM = 0664
EXEPERM = 0755
DIRPERM = 0775
disable the first VARDATND
enable # VARDATND = x11tiles NetHack.ad pet_mark.xbm rip.xpm nhsplash.xpm
go into the win/X11
/usr/X11R6/bin/bdftopcf -o nh10.pcf nh10.bdf
/usr/X11R6/bin/bdftopcf -o ibm.pcf ibm.bdf
cp *.pcf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
mkfontdir
okay return to the nethack source top directory
you will now have to:
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.1.0
and type make, and pray
return to /xin/X11 and copy the two .pcf fonts to /usr/games/lib/nethackdir like so:
cp *.pcf /usr/games/lib/nethackdir/
cd /usr/games/lib/nethackdir
mkfondir
xset fp+ /usr/games/lib/nethackdir
exit to normal user enter win/X11 and copy nethack.rc to your home directory
cp Nethack.cnf .nethackrc
edit as cnessary
cp Nethack.ad in /win/X11 to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/NetHack
edit as follows for tile support
uncomment the tile file line
graphic tombstone
the pet file
the tombstone text
nethack autofocus
Maybe this will help, maybe not.
