Compiling NetHack into Windows?

Windows? Microsoft Visual C?
I want to make things like change the messages to Portuguese and
rename the shopkeepers.

If you can get hold of Cygwin(www.cygwin.com), then I'd recommend that. It
is quite a size to download, and it's fiddly to get Nethack to compile
under it, but I've put together a Diff of my system if you want a copy of
that...

Not asnwering your question, but still relevant: someone recently did the
same for the Spanish language. He posted a lot about this, which might be
very helpful in your project.

Well, if you already have VC then, yes, use that. Otherwise use a
free compiler as others have suggested.
The source comes with project and workspace files for VC so it's
pretty easy to get it going. I use VC myself, so if you have any
major problems let me know.

Too big for downloading with a 56k dial-up and too messy to set up.

Soy yo. And as closely related as Spanish and Portuguese are, surely
some part of the Spanish Nethack code will be of use.
A 3.4.1 release is almost ready; my test game is now complete, and Xena
the quite unwillingly male barbarian now lives among the demigods. (I
tend to play females when testing Spanish Nethack, because certain
grammar bugs are easier to find that way, but Xena had to go and put on
an amulet of change.) All that remains is to build and test for MS-DOS
and, I suppose, to run this by my collaborators. I daresay Spanish
Nethack 3.4.1 will be available to the world before this week is through.
If you'll settle for 3.4.0, you can find the current release at
http://spanish-nethack.sourceforge.net/ .
The free Borland tools at http://community.borland.com/ (you'll need to
register to get them) build a perfectly functional Nethack; use "make -f
makefile.bcc". I also had a 3.4.0 built under OpenWatcom (requires some
tweaking) just before 3.4.1 came out, and I suppose I can do the same for
3.4.1 once the next Spanish Nethack is done.

LOL :)
just imagine MS-NetHack:
System requirements > Pentium 4, 256mb ram, 4GB free in HD, 128mb
video card, 17" monitor, 24x CD-ROM, etc... LOL

Yeah, I can see this happening:

Convert Yourself
If you convert yourself, you might not be able to win the game.
Are you sure you want to convert yourself?
Yes No

Have you seen <http://spanish-nethack.sourceforge.net>? Obviously
Spanish is different, but it might help you get started design-wise.

Two things:
* If you're going to use a signature separator, you might as well use
the standard separator: two dashes and a space. Changing your
third '-' to a space should work.
* It isn't polite to brag. Lot's of folks here have zero ascensions
(including myself). There's no shame in that--NetHack is supposed
to be hard. Also, if you used wizard mode or something like that,
it isn't really a legitimate ascension.

Good luck on that, there are about 4,000 output messages in nethack.
(my count is 4068 but thats not 100% accurate).
