Compiling DynaHack on OS X

1. Install the Homebrew and the Command Line Tools for Xcode

---

• Homebrew: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
• Xcode (or the Command Line Tools): http://developer.apple.com/downloads

2. Install dependencies via Homebrew

brew install cmake

Ncursesw provided by Homebrew-dupes is currently buggy: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/issues/43

Until that bug is merged upstream, you'll need to install the patched version:

brew install https://gist.github.com/gcatlin/3098450/raw/8cc12bc4d095e654876744cdfa6eb57a24186589/ncurses.rb

3. Get the DynaHack source code

cd ~
git clone -b unnethack git://github.com/tung/DynaHack.git dynahack
cd dynahack

4. Build the game

---

Set the installation location:

export NH_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/dynahack
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DUSE_OSX_HOMEBREW_CURSES=TRUE \
      -DSHELLDIR=$NH_INSTALL_DIR \
      -DBINDIR=$NH_INSTALL_DIR/data \
      -DDATADIR=$NH_INSTALL_DIR/data \
      -DLIBDIR=$NH_INSTALL_DIR/data \
