Termux-packages: Package request: Nethack and / or UnNethack

[abers]

While I realise it is currently possible to play both via SSH, I often find myself on trains with either poor or no internet. Also while there are apps for both on the playstore they do not allow customization of font and colour-scheme and don't recognise all the keys on my physical keyboard. Would be great if it was possible to install these locally via termux instead.

its annoying to cross compile but easy to compile nethack on device. Apply this patch.
sh sys/unix/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/linux

@its-pointless Here's where I'm stuck:

wget -N "https://sourceforge.net/projects/nethack/files/nethack/3.6.0/nethack-360-src.tgz"
tar -xf nethack-360-src.tgz
cd nethack-3.6.0
patch -p0 <../sys-unix-hints-linuxf.patch
for f in `find -type f`;do
    echo $f
    sed -i 's%/bin/sh%sh%g' $f
done
sh sys/unix/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/linux
make
make install

Now I am getting lex dgn_comp.l

make[1]: lex: Command not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:333: dgn_lex.c] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.bootstrap-builddir/nethack/nethack-3.6.0/util'
make: *** [Makefile:190: dungeon] Error 2

Do you now what step I've been missing?

flex is lex
fixed the patch... you might want to get symlink to the executable since it doesn't end up in usr/bin

[Neo-Oli]

@its-pointless Thanks. I symlinked lex to flex and now it works. Although it puts the executable in a very weird place, but I guess I can live with that.

I would like to see this pkg install nethack too.

[kenneth-Q]

Is this still going on?
I can not find any thing by apt search nethack.

2648 ...

I have it available on my apt repo gcc_termux...

[xeffyr]

Package is now available in unstable-packages repository.

pkg install unstable-repo
pkg install nethack

In future, it likely will be moved to https://github.com/termux/game-packages.
