9 Credit for the porting of NetHack to Windows CE goes to Alex Kompel who
10 initially developed and contributed the port.
12 In order to build NetHack for Windows CE, you need *both* of the following:
14 o A copy of Microsoft Visual C V6.0 SP3 or later. Things may work with
15 an earlier version of the compiler, but the current code has not been
16 tested with an earlier version.
17 o Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 or later
22 The first step in building NetHack for Windows CE is to execute
23 sys/wince/cesetup.bat.
25 From the command prompt:
29 From a Windows explorer window:
30 double-click on cesetup.bat
32 A "wince" directory will be created off the top of the NetHack source
33 tree, and a Microsoft embedded C workspace file will be placed in the
34 top of the NetHack source tree.
40 Boostrapping the build process on Windows NT/2000/XP
42 1. With the Visual C++ 6.0 tools in your path,
43 Run "nmake /f bootstrp.mak" from the wince folder.
47 2. Start the Embedded Visual C IDE. In the Embedded Visual C IDE
51 3. Set up for the build.
53 o In the Visual C "Open Workspace" dialog box, navigate to the top
54 of your NetHack source directory tree.
56 In there, highlight "wince.vcw" and click on Open.
57 Once the workspace has been opened, you should see the following
58 list in the Visual C selection window:
60 + nethack_palm_pc files
61 + nethack_pocket_pc files
62 + nethack_smartphone files
64 o On the Embedded Visual C menus, choose:
65 Build | Set Active Platform
66 Select the platform that corresponds to your device:
67 Palm-size PC 2.11 - palm size PC running Windows CE version 2.11
68 Pocket PC - palm-size PC running Windows CE 3.0 and higher (PocketPC)
69 H/PC Pro 2.11 - handheld computers running Windows CE 2.11 anf higher
70 Smartphone 2002 - Microsoft SmartPhone device
72 o On the Visual C menus again, choose either:
73 Build | Set Active Configuration
74 where configuration is one of the following (make sure it matches the platform
76 nethack_hpc - Win32 (WCE MIPS) HPCRelease - H/PC Pro 2.11 MIPS processor release executable
77 nethack_hpc - Win32 (WCE x86em) HPCDebug - H/PC Pro 2.11 x86 emulation debug executable
78 nethack_hpc - Win32 (WCE ARM) HPCRelease - H/PC Pro 2.11 ARM processor release executable
79 nethack_hpc - Win32 (WCE SH3) HPCRelease - H/PC Pro 2.11 SH3 processor release executable
80 nethack_hpc - Win32 (WCE x86em) HPCRelease - H/PC Pro 2.11 x86 emulation release executable
81 nethack_hpc - Win32 (WCE SH4) HPCRelease - H/PC Pro 2.11 SH4 processor release executable
82 nethack_palm_pc - Win32 (WCE MIPS) PalmPCRelease - Palm-size PC 2.11 MIPS processor release executable
83 nethack_palm_pc - Win32 (WCE x86em) PalmPCDebug - Palm-size PC 2.11 x86 emulation debug executable
84 nethack_palm_pc - Win32 (WCE SH3) PalmPCRelease - Palm-size PC 2.11 SH3 processor release executable
85 nethack_palm_pc - Win32 (WCE x86em) PalmPCRelease - Palm-size PC 2.11 x86 emulation release executable
86 nethack_pocket_pc - Win32 (WCE MIPS) PocketPCRelease - Pocket PC MIPS processor release executable
87 nethack_pocket_pc - Win32 (WCE ARM) PocketPCRelease - Pocket PC ARM processor release executable
88 nethack_pocket_pc - Win32 (WCE x86em) PocketPCRelease - Pocket PC x86 emulation release executable
89 nethack_pocket_pc - Win32 (WCE x86em) PocketPCDebug - Pocket PC x86 emulation debug executable
90 nethack_pocket_pc - Win32 (WCE SH3) PocketPCRelease - Pocket PC SH3 processor release executable
91 nethack_smartphone - Win32 (WCE ARM) SPhoneRelease - Smartphone 2002 ARM processor release executable
92 nethack_smartphone - Win32 (WCE x86em) SPhoneDebug - Smartphone 2002 x86 emulation debug executable
98 o On the Embedded Visual C menus once again, choose:
99 Build | Build nethackm.exe
100 This starts the build. It is likely that the IDE message window
101 where you are doing the compiling will be occupied for a while.
104 o You may get a bunch of warnings regarding missing include files in the
105 beginning of the build process - ignore them. For some reason the tool
106 that produces these messages ignores preprocessor directives. The actual
107 build will go just fine.
108 o Sometimes the compiler chokes on do_wear.c Ignore that - let the build
109 finish. Then run it again - it will compile just fine. (Seems to be some
110 sort of bug in EVC++)
114 5. Transfer the files and executables to your handheld by extracting the
115 files into some folder on the CE device - that should do it.
120 If you want to use IBMGraphics make sure that you have a proper
121 font installed on the device that supports OEM character set
122 (for example, Lucida Console)
