Ideas for NetHack that I coded, including new levels and a new starting inventory.
https://jes.st/compiling-playing-nethack-360-on-ubuntu/ for compiling instructions:
It took me a while to figure out how to actually get nethack v3.6.0 running on Ubuntu, so I’ve shared what I learned for others.
Thanks to Jochen, we can also get this compiling on Debian Jessie.
Get setup Install the dependencies sudo apt-get install flex bison build-essential libncurses5-dev checkinstall Get the source Extract the source tar xpvzf nethack-360-src.tgz Prepare the source Edit include/unixconf.h Change /* #define LINUX / to #define LINUX Edit sys/unix/hints/linux to be as here. For Debian Jessie, change the HACKDIR=... line to be HACKDIR=$(PREFIX)/lib/games/$(GAME)dir If you want to enable Status Hilite’s; Edit include/config.h Change / #define STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT / to #define STATUS_VIA_WINDOWPORT Change / #define STATUS_HILITES */ to #define STATUS_HILITES sh ./sys/unix/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/linux (sets up the Makefiles correctly) Build & install make all
sudo checkinstall (will create a package and install it for you)
Hit y to create default docs
Enter nethack 3.6.0 then hit twice when prompted
At the options screen, change option 12 to say nethack-common. This avoids accidentally installing any old version from your package manager.
Hit to continue
If you see an error ”Some of the files created by the installation are inside the home directory“;
Hit n (it’s just a temporary file), then
Hit y to continue (we do not want those files in our package).
Uninstallation To uninstall, use your favourite package manager, or sudo dpkg -r nethack.
