I've added a comment to the end of the ebuild script to tell the user how to enable color support within an X terminal. It appears console color support works ok. OPTIONS=color in the ~/.nethackrc file
Created attachment 525 [details] Updated Ebuild Added a helpful notice to the end of the build.
Thanks, added and commited teh ebuild. I'm considering to forwardport my default .nethackrc patch from nethack 3.3 series, leaving this open as a reminder. :)
I'll just tack this ebuild on here. This version I wrote from scratch, but after I got stuck I got a lot of good info from the existing nethack ebuilds. I have included a CREDITS.gentoo. On to the meat. This ebuild supports USE flags X, qt, and gnome. I have also included a default .nethackrc file and a FAQ-ish thing about why I made some decisions. It removes the need for /usr/games as this is to be avoided from what I hear. It will emerge with qt2 or 3 installed, but it will only use 2. I have tested tty, X, qt, and gnome window types and it seems to run very nicely. The whole setup process should be: emerge nethack cp /usr/share/nethackdir/dot.nethackrc ~/.nethackrc nethack This was such a fun project. Let me know if I screwed the pooch. Uh, seems I can't create an attachment. Spider I'll email you the build.
thanks, commited.
