-Crawl- Fixed, ENJOYABLE 4.1.2a on its way

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.misc (More info?)

I recompiled from scratch, reread the log, fixed a makefile error (an
accidetnally left-in chmod towards the end of makefile.lnx) that I'd
originally passed over as ignorable, recompiled from scratch again, and
got a version that behaves vastly more normally and presumably is what
Brent intended.

Looks like I managed to turn off the evil bit.

IT'S PARTY TIME!

It's still hard (and will probably still need a slight tweak downward
of initial difficulty), but it's now just *reasonably* hard, except for
the traps bug of course.

WINDOWS PLAYERS, GET YOUR TESTING BOOTIES A'SHAKIN'!

It's been passed on to Will, who I hope will make an announcement when
it's actually online. I was lazy (and paranoid about Strip) and passed
it to him unstripped, so what's posted may be a 2 MB zip containing an
8 MB executable; sorry about that.

No typo! I worked from the linux makefile on the (late-winter 2005)
suggestion of Pekka Nurminen, and based on his instructions. That's why
a chmod even existed to accidentally leave in. ;-)

Nothing, for example that's exactly what Darshan did when compiling in
Mingw. But I don't really know anything about anything, so .lnx had a
great advantage in that there was an archived guide to the conversion
by Pekka.

February 2005 or whatever (can't recall exact month, maybe it was
already spring, maybe it was January) was in 2005 and it was winter,
right?

Huh?! I guess makefile.lnx was a typo, right?

Odd. I never compiled Crawl for Windows, just curious (if it's not too
complicated to explain): what's wrong with makefile.dos?
"late-winter 2005"? But *that* was a typo, wasn't it? ;-)

Ah, now I see, LOL!
For me an expression like "winter 2005" is unambiguous and definitely
the saison _after_ the summer 2005. The way you use it every year has 2
winters! Personally I'd like it, but some people might find this rather
depressive... ;-)

Btw, if you alter my sig - you should quote the original at least.
Cause though it fits and even though I agree, I didn't say that! ;-)
