Compiling DynaHack on Linux

These steps will build a version of DynaHack from source that can be played in Linux.

  1. Install dependencies

These are the package names for Ubuntu; other distros may use different names.

  • gcc or clang
  • flex
  • bison
  • libncursesw5-dev
  • libjansson-dev
  • zlib1g-dev
  • cmake
  • cmake-curses-gui
  1. Configure the build

After getting and extracting the game's source code (e.g. to ~/dynahack), create a build directory and run CMake:

cd ~/dynahack
mkdir build
cd ~/dynahack/build
cmake ..

Use the CMake GUI to set the install path:

cd ~/dynahack/build
ccmake .

Set SHELLDIR and CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /home/username/dynahack/install.

Set BINDIR, DATADIR and LIBDIR to /home/username/dynahack/install/dynahack-data.

Press 'c' to configure, then 'g' to generate the build files and exit.

  1. Compile the game

Enter the following commands to compile the game:

cd ~/dynahack/build
make install

To play the game, run its launch script:

~/dynahack/install/dynahack.sh

Most options can be set and saved in-game, but if you want to customize characters used on the map, see save files or view dump logs of finished games you can find them all in ~/.config/DynaHack.

Programs on Linux use baked-in paths at compile time, so it's best to compile the game from source rather than try to get a pre-compiled version to work.
