Compiling Z+Angband

[Ravenheart87]

Hi everyone!

When I heard about Z+Angband a few days ago, I downloaded it for windows in the blink of an eye. Now I'm sitting at my Arch Linux in the student hostel, and since Z+Angband is not yet included in the User Repository, I have to compile.
Can anyone tell me, what should I do? So far I downloaded the .tar.gz, extracted it to a folder, and tried ./configure && make && make install. Too bad that id dies with an error message. Here is the config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.  Invocation command line was

configure: exit 77

What am I doing wrong? Do I need some package that's missing? Or am I simply blind to find something obvious?

[Nick]

I would try the quick and dirty method:

cd src
make -f Makefile.std

and then copy the binary up to the top directory and run it from there.

[Ravenheart87]

Thanks, I think I'm one step forward now. It starts, goes for a while, then halts with the following message (and this is what I get whenever restart it):

make: *** No rule to make target `zborg1.h', needed by `zborg1.o'.  Stop.

[Nick]

I just verified that configure followed by make (in the top level directory) works for me in Ubuntu 10.04. make install fails completely, but that's OK - you can just run ./zangband and it's all good.

I don't know if that helps.

Well, that's a bit out of date. I excised the borg code a long time ago. Not quite sure how autoconf works but the borg stuff should not be compiled or included.

[Ravenheart87]

Commented the borg stuff out. It continues, then I get this at the end:

I hope someone puts this up in AUR soon.

[Nick]

My guess is that main-tnb is used for reference to Tim Baker's tcl/tk port - try removing references to that as well.

[Ravenheart87]

Eh, every step leads to a new error. I think I'll give up for now and only play under Windows. I hope someone will put this up in AUR in the near-future.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
