Merge the GCC5 and build fix branches.
This fixes all warnings produced by GCC 5, except the ones related to
system functions. Those could be fixed by including the proper headers,
but it would be better to replace the system-dependent code with
functions from mdport.c.

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. | |

34 pdcurses distribution. |
106 | 35 |
122 | 36 You can also build on Windows using MinGW. Make sure pdcurses is installed. |
37 You will have to go into the '/lib' folder and copy 'libpdcurses.a' to | |
38 'libcurses.a', and 'libpdcurses.dll.a' to 'libcurses.dll.a'; this should get | |
39 fixed soon. | |

41 It is recommended to run 'configure' with the '--disable-logfile' option, and | |
42 'make' with the 'LDFLAGS=-static' option. | |
