Prerequisites
=============
You need gcc (the C compiler only - other languages not needed), libc5
(version 5.4.5 or later) or libc6, and ncurses (any reasonably recent
version). Older versions of ncurses may work (but are much more
buggy), and BSD curses / termcap just might work (but is obsolete),
but these are completely unsupported; even with recent ncurses
versions you could run into problems with some games dependent on the
version of ncurses; if so, get a debugging version of ncurses
(libncurses_g.a), link with -lncurses_g instead of -lncurses, and good
luck bug-hunting. If the display gets confused in ordinary use (as
opposed for example to after resizing the window), this might be a bug
in the game, but is probably a bug in ncurses. You also need some
sort of lex and yacc; by default this package will use flex and bison,
but byacc will probably work as well. Libc5 versions before 5.4.5, or
libc4, will not work since they don't have the BSD <err.h> error
reporting functions. libcrypto from OpenSSL can optionally be used by
factor.
You need the following to build this distribution:
* GCC (the C compiler only - other languages not needed).
* glibc 2.3 or later. Older versions will not work (at least for
hunt) since they lack the <ifaddrs.h> header.
* ncurses; other curses / termcap implementations might work, but are
unsupported.
* lex and yacc; by default this package will use flex and bison, but
byacc will probably work as well.
* GNU make.
* A POSIX shell, such as bash, in /bin/sh.
libcrypto from OpenSSL can optionally be used by factor.
You now need a word list for boggle and hangman; bsd-games no longer
provides one itself. The GNU miscfiles package contains one, for

/usr/share/dict/words). The file used by hangman can also be
specified at run time with the "-d" option.
The makefiles require GNU make; if you have a strange system on which
"make" is not GNU make you can use it under some other name since
$(MAKE) is used where appropriate. The configure script assumes that
/bin/sh is a POSIX.2 shell (bash is known to work; current versions of
ksh and ash should be OK but I haven't tested them); it can be run
manually with "bash configure" or similar if /bin/sh is not a POSIX.2
shell. It uses the POSIX.2 printf utility (in GNU sh-utils, and a
builtin in bash 2.02) to avoid depending on echo -n.
I am not aware of any dependence on the version of gcc used, although
it would be advisable to use gcc 2.7.2.1 or later (or use
-fno-strength-reduce). EGCS releases 1.1.x may produce spurious
warnings about uninitialized variables because of limitations in the
code to detect this, but this does not affect the correctness of the
compiled code; this seems to be fixed in GCC 2.95. Some glibc
versions may produce many warnings in the system headers; these
generally represent bugs in the headers whose only impact is cosmetic,
and can be ignored.
