Fix a typo in configure.ac.
'test' had been misspelled 'text', and the error had propagated to all
seven games.

80 | 1 This is the source for the Roguelike Gallery's versions of Rogue and other |
2 early roguelike games. | |
3 | |
4 The code was obtained from the Roguelike Restoration Project | |
5 (rogue.rogueforge.net). Modifications have been made mainly for compatibility | |
6 with the dgamelaunch online play system. Some bugs have also been fixed, and | |
7 the build process slightly improved. The essential flavor of a codebase half | |
8 as old as stored-program computing machinery remains unchanged. | |

122 | 13 To install on Unix (including OS X): |
106 | 14 |
15 If you checked out the source from Mercurial, run 'autoreconf' first. | |
16 | |
17 Build by running './configure' and then 'make'. If you just want to play the | |
18 game from your own user account, 'configure' won't need any options. The | |
19 games will keep the high score lists in whatever directory you run them from. | |
20 | |
21 For a multi-user installation, you will need to set the '--enable-setgid', | |
22 '--enable-savedir', '--enable-scorefile', and '--enable-logfile' options. Run | |
23 'make install' after building. | |
24 | |
25 There are other possible options; run './configure --help' for a full list. | |
26 | |
27 To install on Windows: | |
28 | |
29 Use the included Visual Studio solution files. Warning: they have not been | |
30 tested recently. | |
31 | |
122 | 32 You can also build on Windows using MinGW. Make sure pdcurses is installed. |
33 You will have to go into the '/lib' folder and copy 'libpdcurses.a' to | |
34 'libcurses.a', and 'libpdcurses.dll.a' to 'libcurses.dll.a'; this should get | |
35 fixed soon. | |
36 | |
37 It is recommended to run 'configure' with the '--disable-logfile' option, and | |
38 'make' with the 'LDFLAGS=-static' option. | |

106 | 43 See the individual games' subdirectories for further documentation. Some of |
44 the manpages may be outdated, but the guides to playing should be accurate. | |

46 The games can be played via SSH or the Web at rlgallery.org. | |
