Makedefs
Revision as of 05:45, 18 June 2006 by Kernigh (talk | contribs) (makedefs generates part of the source code.)
In util/makedefs.c
is the source for a program called makedefs. When you build a copy of NetHack, it uses makedefs to generate date.h, onames.h, pm.h, vis_tab.h, and vis_tab.c. This explains why those files are missing from an unbuilt copy of the source code.
In the Unix Makefiles, makedefs is called from the Makefiles in the src and utl directories.
