For how to use Qt on macOS, the instruction "use hint file" is so vague it is unusable. I've just spent hours on this. The hint files are Makefiles. I've managed to enter the makefile in the XCode project as a subproject and compile it. This after hours of trying to figure out what "use the hint file" meant. But it still does not make my Nethack executable use Qt. What does "use hint file" meant? Can someone who know please tell in a way that makes sense to someone who does not already know? Thank you.

Qt support for 3.6 series in the works

Fans of the old Qt UI may be happy to hear that Qt4 support is in the works.

In the meantime, if you're like me and hate all the other Linux UIs (while not wanting to go back to console mode), I recommend running the Win32 UI under WINE; a few minor graphical glitches aside, I've been able to play it up to a YASD on the Astral Plane without any problem.--TNT (talk) 22:32, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Use hint file

For how to use Qt on macOS, the instruction "use hint file" is so vague it is unusable. I've just spent hours on this. The hint files are Makefiles. I've managed to enter the makefile in the XCode project as a subproject and compile it. This after hours of trying to figure out what "use the hint file" meant. But it still does not make my Nethack executable use Qt. What does "use hint file" meant? Can someone who know please tell in a way that makes sense to someone who does not already know? Thank you.
