[Nethack-el-devel] Troubles

[Faux_Pseudo]

The system:
gnu emacs 21.1.1 compiled without X
gcc 2.95.3
Linux 2.4.5 i686
nethack-el: 20030310-341
nethack: 3.4.1


First the problems I have fixed to get as far as I did.

1) In the enh-341.patch I have changed "../win/lisp/winlisp.c" to 
   "../lisp/winlisp.c"
2) I changed all referances of '#include "winlisp.c"' to  
   '#include "../include/winlisp.c"'.
3) Copied nethack-3.4.1/winlisp.h to nethack-3.4.1/include/winlisp.h
4) applied following patch for non emacs use:

I tried to do a "make depend" in nethack-3.4.1/src/ as listed in the
nethack-el INSTALL file.  This failed as the make file looks for
things like ../src/monst.c or some such thing when we are in src.

So we skip that and go up one level and do a make and a make install
and I can now play nethack 3.4.1 in the console without problem.

So I move over to ~/nethack_el-20030310-341 and set 
"EMACS = /usr/local/bin/emacs" and do a "make all"
sudo cp *elc /usr/local/share/emacs/21.1/lisp/

pop the following into .emacs
(autoload 'nethack "nethack" "Play Nethack." t)
(setq nethack-program "/usr/games/nethack")

Load up emacs for the first tine in a long time (I run in server mode)
and do the "M-x nethack<return>" and nothing happens.  Well thats what
it look like anyway.  A C-x C-b tells me there is a  "*  *nh-output*
1384  Fundamental" to show me that /something/ did happen.  

Now something tells me that that should not say fundamental.  But I
switch over anyway and find one very ugly attempt of nethack trying to
load into a Fundamental buffer. ie: 
For the sake of us all:  Go bravely with Anhur!--More--

So did I miss anything?  Was something not included in the INSTALL
file that should have been?  Or is this some bug that means I won't be
able to play nethack-el until I finally learn enough C to write hello
world without it failing because I forgot to include a ";" or messed
up my printf statement?

Every bug we kill makes us stronger.
