Build Pipeline

Critical Rules

Do NOT manually edit generated files. They are automatically regenerated by makedefs.
Always rebuild data files using makedefs, levcomp, and dgncomp after editing dat/ files.

Visual Studio Solution

Solution: win/win32/vs/GnollHack.sln
dirs.props: Defines directory path variables (BinDir, etc.).
files.props: Lists sources, .des, .lev, and dlb contents.

Pipeline Steps

makedefs.exe: Generates headers and data text.
- -p → pm.h (Monsters)
- -o → onames.h (Objects)
- -e → dat/dungeon.pdf
levcomp.exe: Compiles 28 .des files in dat/ into 135 .lev files.
dgncomp.exe: Compiles dat/dungeon.pdf into binary dat/dungeon.
dlb.exe: Bundles all .lev and data files into nhdat archive.
- Run: dlb.exe cIf dat/dlb.lst bin/nhdat
Native compilation: gnollhackwin.dll (Win), libgnollhackdroid.so (Android), libgnollhackios.a (iOS).
MAUI Frontend: win/win32/xpl/GnollHackM/GnollHackM.csproj.
