NetHack 3.4.3 Linux Elf
|
|
|
|
This README provides the instructions for using the official Linux binary,
|
|
system platform requirements, as well as steps used to create that binary.
|
|
The same steps can be used from the source distribution to create a similar
|
|
binary.
|
|
|
|
The official Linux binary has support for tty and X11 windowing systems, but
|
|
not Qt. This means you will need to have X11 libraries installed on your
|
|
system to run this binary, even in its tty flavor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Linux binary package assumes that you have a user and a group named
|
|
"games" on your system. If you do not, you can simplify installation by
|
|
creating them first.
|
|
|
|
Log in as or su to "root". Then, cd /, gunzip and untar the package,
|
|
preserving permissions to put the NetHack files in /usr/games/nethack and
|
|
/usr/games/lib/nethackdir. For example, if the package in in your
|
|
home directory you might perform these steps.
|
|
% su
|
|
# cd /
|
|
# tar xpvzf ~yourlogin/nethack-343-linux-X11.tgz
|
|
|
|
If you have old record and logfile entries from a previous NetHack version,
|
|
you might want to save copies before they get overwritten by the new empty
|
|
files; old saved games and bones files from 3.4.x will work with 3.4.3.
|
|
If you are installing from the RPM, there is no need to save the old record
|
|
and logfile; they are automatically preserved.
|
|
|
|
In addition to data files for running the game, you will find other useful
|
|
things in /usr/games/lib/nethackdir (such as a copy of this README :-).
|
|
|
|
The general documentation Guidebook.txt and the processed man pages
|
|
nethack.txt and recover.txt should provide an introduction to the game.
|
|
|
|
The sample config file called dot.nethackrc can be used by copying
|
|
it to your home directory as .nethackrc and modifying it to your liking.
|
|
|
|
If you are running X11 copy the nh10.pcf and ibm.pcf font files from
|
|
/usr/games/lib/nethackdir to a X11 fonts directory (such as
|
|
/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc) and run "mkfontdir", then restart X
|
|
windows to load them. If you prefer to use the graphical tiles,
|
|
add the following to your .Xdefaults or .Xresources file:
|
|
NetHack.tile_file: x11tiles
|
|
You may need to run "xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults" (or .Xresources) after
|
|
doing this.
|
|
|
|
The official Linux binary is set up to run setgid games, which allows
|
|
multiple users on your system to play the game and prevents cheating by
|
|
unprivileged users. The usual default for NetHack is setuid games, but
|
|
this causes problems with accessing .nethackrc on distributions with
|
|
restrictive default security on home directories and users who don't know
|
|
the tradeoffs of various permission settings.
|
|

Steps used to build this binary release, in addition to the basic
|
|
instructions found in sys/unix/Install.unx. The step numbers below
|
|
correspond to the step numbers in sys/unix/Install.unx.
|
|
|
|
System: gcc-3.2, XFree86-libs-4.2.1, ncurses-5.2, glibc-2.3.2 (GLIBC_2.3)
|
|
|
|
3. Edit include/config.h and include/unixconf.h
|
|
config.h: define X11_GRAPHICS window support.
|
|
define USE_XPM support.
|
|
define COMPRESS as /bin/gzip as that is where it
|
|
seems to reside on newer Linux's.
|
|
define COMPRESS_EXTENSION as ".gz"
|
|
define DLB
|
|
define AUTOPICKUP_EXCEPTIONS
|
|
|
|
unixconf.h: define LINUX
|
|
define TIMED_DELAY
|
|
|
|
6. Makefile.src: define modern, non-BSD Linux and linux options throughout
|
|
CC = gcc
|
|
LFLAGS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib
|
|
WINSRC = $(WINTTYSRC) $(WINX11SRC)
|
|
WINOBJ = $(WINTTYOBJ) $(WINX11OBJ)
|
|
WINTTYLIB = /usr/lib/libncurses.a
|
|
WINX11LIB = -lXaw -lXmu -lXext -lXt -lXpm -lX11
|
|
WINLIB = $(WINTTYLIB) $(WINX11LIB)
|
|
|
|
Makefile.utl: define modern, non-BSD Linux and linux options throughout
|
|
Use bison/flex instead of yacc/lex
|
|
CC = gcc
|
|
LFLAGS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib
|
|
YACC = bison -y
|
|
LEX = flex
|
|
|
|
7. Makefile.top: GAMEGRP = games
|
|
GAMEPERM = 02755
|
|
FILEPERM = 0664
|
|
EXEPERM = 0755
|
|
DIRPERM = 0775
|
|
VARDATND = x11tiles NetHack.ad pet_mark.xbm rip.xpm
|
|
|
|
make all; su; make install
|
|
|
|
9. Additional step: As discussed in win/X11/Install.X11, convert nh10.bdf
|
|
and ibm.bdf to proper font files and place in font path.
