1Installing NetHack with a Qt or KDE interface 2--------------------------------------------- 3 4This document describes the installation of NetHack with a Qt interface 5on UNIX/X11 or Mac OS X. This code should also work with Qt/Windows, but 6support for that is not currently official. 7 8You can download Qt for UNIX and Qt for Windows from http://www.trolltech.com. 9Qt for Mac OS X is currently only available commercially. You need Qt 2.0 or 10later to use this code. 11 12To use this code: 13 14 1. follow the directions for the UNIX installation (in ../../sys/unix) 15 to create the Makefiles. 16 17 2. ../../include/config.h 18 19 define QT_GRAPHICS (search for it). You can comment out 20 TTY_GRAPHICS if you want to, or leave it in to support both 21 interfaces (in which case be sure you have the right curses 22 libraries etc. required for that interface). 23 24 3. ../../src/Makefile 25 26 ensure your QTDIR environment variable was set correctly when 27 you installed Qt - $QTDIR/include/qwidget.h should exist, for 28 example. 29 30 ensure CXX and LD are set to the compiler and linker you need 31 for compiling and linking C++ software (e.g., set both to g++). 32 33 add $(WINQTSRC), $(WINQTOBJ), and $(WINQTLIB) to WINSRC, WINOBJ, 34 and WINLIB respectively, and compile. This will give you an 35 executable supporting both Qt and tty windowing. 36 37 4. ../../Makefile (the top-level makefile) 38 39 change the VARDATND setting to contain the files "x11tiles", 40 "rip.xpm", and "nhsplash.xpm": 41 42 VARDATND = x11tiles rip.xpm nhsplash.xpm 43 44 5. Follow all the instructions in ../../sys/unix/Install.unx for 45 the remainder of the installation process. 46 47 6. Consider adding the lines below to your .nethackrc, as they are 48 likely to give the best interface for this window port: 49 50 OPTIONS=name:player,number_pad,menustyle:partial,!time,showexp 51 OPTIONS=hilite_pet,toptenwin,msghistory:200,windowtype:Qt 52 53 54If you are using KDE, you may want to also try the KDE version. It just 55uses the KDE menubar and follows other KDE conventions - there is no 56extra functionality. To do so: 57 58 1. Ensure that you have KDE 2.x libraries on your system 59 (in 1999 KDE 1.x was the norm) 60 61 2. ../../src/Makefile 62 63 Add $(KDECXXFLAGS) to the CXXFLAGS definition, $(KDELFLAGS) to 64 the LFLAGS definition and $(WINKDELIB) to WINLIB. 65 66 3. Some additional files here - knh-mini.xpm, knh.xpm, and 67 knethack.lnk are useful if you want to install "knethack" in 68 the KDE games directory. 69 70 71If you are using Qtopia, you can compile NetHack for that environment 72with the following additional steps: 73 74 1. First be sure that you can build a simple Qtopia application, 75 such as the examples that ship with Qtopia. Do not attempt 76 something as challenging to compile as NetHack before you can 77 already build a Qtopia application for your target device. 78 79 2. If you are cross-compiling (eg. targetting an ARM-based handheld), 80 be sure to follow the steps for cross-compiling in the Makefile.src 81 and Makefile.utl files. 82 83 3. To CXXFLAGS in Makefile.src, add: 84 -DQWS -I$(QPEDIR)/include -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions 85 86 4. Rather than -lqt in WINQTLIB, have: 87 -L$(QPEDIR)/lib -lqpe -lqte 88 89 5. After building, use the "mkipks" program that ships with Qtopia 90 to package the result into an ipk file. 91 92 93
