These steps will build a version of DynaHack from source that can be played in Linux.
- Install dependencies
These are the package names for Ubuntu; other distros may use different names.
- gcc or clang
- flex
- bison
- libncursesw5-dev
- zlib1g-dev
- cmake
- Configure the build
After getting and extracting the game's source code (e.g. to ~/dynahack), create a build directory and run CMake:
cd ~/dynahack
mkdir build
cd ~/dynahack/build
cmake .. -DINSTALL_BASE=~/dynahack/install
Other useful flags for cmake:
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
... to include debugging symbols; useful for stack traces.
-DALL_STATIC:BOOL=TRUE
... to statically link all DynaHack-related libraries into a single dynahack binary. BEWARE: If this option is changed in a non-clean build directory the results may be unexpected; to avoid this, use make clean, or separate build directories for static and dynamic builds.
If you want to compile with clang and it isn't already set as your default C compiler for your system, put "CC=/usr/bin/clang" in front of the cmake command, like so:
CC=/usr/bin/clang cmake ... (etc.)
- Compile the game
Enter the following commands to compile the game:
cd ~/dynahack/build
make install
To play the game, run its launch script:
~/dynahack/install/dynahack/dynahack.sh
Most options can be set and saved in-game, but if you want to customize characters used on the map, see save files or view dump logs of finished games you can find them all in ~/.config/DynaHack.
