Correct. changes.txt is referred to in Makefile.osx, so you could change the name there instead if you prefer.

You weren't kidding about moving to the V3.2 codebase, BTW

I made those changes.

The OSX/MAC build is also available here:

I started just wanting to do the shop interface. I think it was about 5-75 hours of cut and paste before it would even compile. I probably wasn't too smart about the way I did some things, and it could have been done alot quicker, but it was still a heck of a project either way. I didn't even get all of it. I still don't have effect.c yet.

Good luck!

What version is the current FAAngband?

If I could toss in one feature request (I'm mainly a Vanilla player): in Vanilla, if you're given a prompt with only one option, the return key accepts it (rather than "a" or whatever the option designator is). It's a small thing, but I've gotten used to it.

I'm trying to get just about everything except the store interface - the new command structures and spellcasting have hurt most so far, and I'm just hitting object handling...

What version is the current FAAngband?

1.1.6 is current; my version policy is that all 1.1.x are savefile compatible, and increasing x is meant to be just for bugfixing. So once I have all this done it will go to 1.2.

I worded that poorly. I meant to ask, what version of the Angband codebase is FAA based on? IIRC it was based on Oangband, which might have gotten its start with Angband 2.8.3. And I don't know if either have kept up with recent Angband development. I was trying to guess how much of the base code will have to be udpated.

Yes, it came from O which came from V2.8.3, but my most recent import of codebase from V was 3.0.9 IIRC. Which means it has little bit and pieces from every version of V since 2.8.3

with the instructions shown here:

A simple

./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install

doesn't work, where is the configure file?

Please could you help me?

Thanks in advance!

cd src
make -f Makefile.std

will do it, almost. It is also (I just now see) missing src/snd-sdl.c. The simple fix is to copy it from another *band (V and FA both work); alternatively, remove the snd-sdl.o from Makefile.std.

Yes, this worked fine, thank you!

All the best!
