Setting up notdNetHack:

notdNetHack is currently only supported on Unix, including WSL for Windows, with no plans to change this for the foreseeable future.

For compiling on Windows:

• Download Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
• Open the Terminal in WSL. (Just clicking on the shortcut opens the terminal)
• Navigate (using ls and cd) to where you want to install notdnethack
• Install git: apt install git
• Download the version of dNAO you want with git: git clone https://github.com/demogorgon22/notdnethack.git will get you whatever is the default release branch is at the time
• Install the following using apt install <XXXX>: bison, build-essential, libncurses5-dev, flex
  • If you want to rebuild include/macromagic.h (this is only required if you modify util/MacroMagicMarker.py or doc/macromagic.txt), you also need python3
• Build & install by typing make install
  • If you want to enable AddressSanitizer, useful for finding certain types of bugs, add CFLAGS='-g -fsanitize=address' LDFLAGS=-fsanitize=address
  • If you want to rebuild include/macromagic.h despite not actually having to, also type rm include/macromagic.h && make include/macromagic.h
• Navigate to the newly-created notdnethackdir directory: cd notdnethackdir
• Run by typing ./notdnethack. Wizard mode is ./notdnethack -D -u wizard
• If you want an rc file (to have custom options and use things like menucolours and autopickup exceptions), edit it via vim ~/.notdnethackrc (or your preferred text editor)

For Unix, the same steps apply minus installing WSL.
