[Release] Announcing... NetHack-- 3.1.3!
Chris Herborth
NetHack-- 3.1.3!
[Note: NetHack-- is a variant of the parent game NetHack. - arp]
Yes, finally, the wait is over!
After years of intensive debugging (ok, a couple of hours) I tracked
down the vicious shopkeeper bug that was preventing me from releasing
NetHack-- to the world.
Watch for the NetHack-- 3.1.3 patch (which requires the NetHack 3.1.3
source code), coming soon to rec.games.hack and alt.sources!
Atari ST/TT/Falcon030 binaries of NetHack-- 3.1.3 will be available on
atari.archive.umich.edu (and its mirrors) in Games/nhmm31c.zoo real soon
now. Don't download nhmm31c.zip, it's a copy of the buggy binary (with
the nasty shopkeeper bug intact).
OS/2 binaries of NetHack-- 3.1.3 will be available on ftp-os2.cdrom.com
in 2_x/games/nh31c--.zip real soon now.
DOS binaries of NetHack-- 3.1.3 will be available real soon now; I have
to finish building it and figure out where to put it (I don't frequent
DOS ftp sites). The DOS binary will require a '386 or better.
Please don't bug me for copies of the patch or the binaries; I'm a UUCP
site and will not send anyone copies. Watch rec.games.hack for the
patch, and check your favourite ftp sites for the binaries.

Well, I've waited almost 2 weeks and no one has posted about this...
These new patches don't work!
So far, I've tried it on netcom.com's Suns, and on my AT&T 3B1. Each make
fails at exactly the same point. I wrote Chris mail about this a week ago
and have not gotten a response.
After at least 5 seperate tries (using the new, "fixed" patches), NH313--
simply doesn't compile. It always fails at exactly the same point:
$ make install
( cd src ; make )
[...]
cc -O -I../include -c mkroom.c
"mkroom.c", line 638: redeclaration of giantmon
"mkroom.c", line 646: redeclaration of lepremon
"mkroom.c", line 669: redeclaration of realzoomon
"mkroom.c", line 685: redeclaration of roomelevenmon
"mkroom.c", line 696: redeclaration of anthillmon
"mkroom.c", line 709: redeclaration of waspmon
Has anyone gotten these supposedly "fixed" nh313-- sources to compile
without these errors?
After spending a few hours on the old, "broken" patch, and several more
hours on the new "fixed" one, I'm hesitant to try it on any other
platforms. (I could use GCC on my 386-SX-16 running DOS 5, but nh313 takes
over 18 hours to compile, and I fear nh313-- could take over 24!@ Argh.

Hey now, hold the phone!

Actually, it seems to only affect Sun machines and (I guess) 3B1
machines. Strange cc? I don't know; want to buy me a Sparc Classic? :)

Try putting 'static' in front of the function declarations on those
lines. Someone else who reported this problem to me suggested that as a
fix (and it appeared to work for him).
Again, use these patches at your own risk, and I can't test it on
anything I don't have access to (which limits me to testing it on Atari
machines, OS/2, and <bleh> DOS).

Well, they work now. Just put `static' at the beginning of the lines
affected -2. In other words, take the error message generated my cc,
subtract 2 lines from the error line, and place `static' at the beginning
of the line.
And it took about 50 hours to compile NH313-- on my 386-SX-16 running
DOS 5, XtraDrive (from IIT), and djgpp 2.1. Anyone know af a SLOWER
nethack compile time?! |-)
Thanks to Chris for the game and pointing out how to correct these errors.

YIPES! That's hell...
NetHack 3.1 (any version, including NetHack--) takes about 10 hours to
compile on my Atari ST (8Mhz 68000, using GNU C 2.4.5).
