I have brought up nethack 2.2 on my SCO SysVr2 2.2.1/dev 2.1.4 system
with minimal difficulty, patched the termcap.c file to use "nap()" from
-lx to avoid the extremely strange delay mechanism that it came with,
applied a patch posted to the net for chameleons on level 40 (? I just
took this verbatim, and it didn't break, so...) BUT I've found a problem:
Some of the character types don't work:
Ninja, ok
Knight, ok
Healer, core dumps as soon as I hit "h"
Archaeologist, ok
Tourist, core dumps as soon as I hit "t"
Barbarian, ok
Caveman, ok
Samurai, ok
Priest, core dumps as soon as I hit "p"
Valkyrie, ok
Elf, ok
Wizard, core dumps as soon as I hit "w"
My config.h does define everything as far as the options for game
modifications (DOGNAME, SPELLS, PRAYERS, KAA, etc...)
From looking at the source code to u_init.c it appears that the core
dump occurs when I select a character whose initialization requires
accessing an array called "objects[]"; I inserted:
printf ("objects is of size [%d]\n",SIZE(objects));
and I got 0. Oops. The SIZE macro does s sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) so
it should indicate the number of items in the array, so I guess that
array is getting initialized wrong, or not at all..
Anyone have a fix?
