with dgamelaunch and security for multiple players.
Installing
First, configure for your system by editing machdep.h. The defaults are for a
system-wide installation, which will require setgid on the binary. For a
single-user installation, comment out SAVEDIR and set SCOREFILE and LOGFILE to
locations somewhere in your home directory. (That's probably the best thing to
do on Windows, too.)
Rogue V3 now uses autotools. Run 'autoreconf' and then './configure' to
configure for your system. Once that's finished, compile by running make. (I
haven't tested the Visual Studio project files on Windows, but they should
work.)
Once that's finished, compile by running make. (I haven't tested the Visual
Studio project files on Windows, but they should work.)
If you don't use any options with './configure', rogue3 will keep the high
score list in whatever directory you run it from. If you just want to play
the game yourself, this will work.
If you want multi-user play, install the rogue3 binary with setgid games. You
will need to make sure that SAVEDIR exists and that savefiles, SCOREFILE, and
LOGFILE can be created and written by the games group (assuming you want those
features.) For a single user, installing shouldn't be necessary.
If you want multi-user play, use the '--enable-setgid' and '--enable-savedir'
options to 'configure'. After compiling, install the rogue3 binary with setgid
games. You will need to make sure that the save directory exists and that
savefiles, the scorefile, and the logfile can be created and written by the
games group (assuming you want those features.)
There are other possible features, including wizard (debugging) mode. To see
the full list, run './configure --help'.
