Okay, we both are busy at uni. But we hope to sort the bugs out.

edit: I too had to edit makefile.std to remove the reference to snd-sdl.oLast edited by ghengiz; February 1, 2012, 11:20.Comment

Additionally, the X11 version crashes my X server(!) on launch...
probably relevant data: the env variables
ANGBAND_X11_FONT_0=10x20
ANGBAND_X11_FONT_1=10x20
but they work fine with vanilla and other variantsComment

Probably an X11 bug that the variant just accidentally triggers. X should never ever crash. (But in practice crashes more often than Windows 98. )Comment

At least there is not that hideous winblows' blue screen of death, and there is no need to force a system reboot, either
Wow, maybe I'm outrageously lucky, but I don't remember X11 has crashed on me *that* much in 10+ years, just once or twice I thinkComment

Well, either way you lose unsaved work... Same difference IMO.
Recently I think X has gotten better about not crashing, though it's also gotten worse about having fallback options in case accelerated rendering does crash. That being said, all told I've gotten about as many crashes in total from Linux as I have from Windows, and that includes a period using Windows 98/98SE.
(Though 98SE was pretty stable if you didn't mess with it too much. Shame it made MacOS 9 look like a stunning example of OS security.)Comment

Although a reboot of a win box was slower than just run xstart, I agree with you, it's lost work anyway
Yep, no operating system is perfect (yet), and MacOS 9 had his faults, but it was still way better than windows on the security front.
IIRC, it was about those years that the following joke began to circulate:
WINDOWS as an acronim means "Work Is Never Done On Windows Systems"Comment

True enough for me, most of the serious (and not-so-serious) computer stuff I do is done on Linux.
BTW Underdark seems to have nothing going on since July 2011.Comment

I can offer a little help regarding your question
With July 25 git version:
Compiling
Lots of warnings about "initialization discard[ing] qualifiers from pointer target type." Not sure if that's inherited from NPP, or even important at all.
Makefile.std refers to snd-sdl.o but never compiles it (and couldn't in any case since snd-sdl.c does not exist). This causes linking to fail.Comment

NPP 0.5.4 is being released today. It compiles cleanly with MINGW for windows. In linux, (ubuntu), 054 compiles cleanly as well with one warning for main.sdl. 053 has plenty of harmless compiler warnings that have been cleaned up. I don't have access to a MAC, but AFAIK everything works ok.NPPAngband current home page: http://nppangband.bitshepherd.net/

Which version of NPP, and what are you using to compile?

I don't know what qwerty used, I just edited some text files pertaining to races.
EDIT: I'll grab NPP 0.5.4 and the files from the repo qwerty set up and will try to run it. Will see what happens.Comment
