Build Game
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Build the game using the ZILF toolset. Eliminate compilation and startup errors where necessary.
Note that this build requires text.file.
Ensure the main file has a release and a version. The names of included files should be in lower case for linux/macos compilations.
The compiler reports 1 error.

This was a bit difficult for me to interpret but I eventually settled on commenting out line 43 of random-globals.zil.
<SETG LICENSE-FORM <>>Now, the compiler reports 2 errors.
[error ZIL0113] parser.zil:2053: SETG: argument 1: bare atom argument must be a variable name
[error ZIL0113] parser.zil:2055: SETG: argument 1: bare atom argument must be a variable name
The errors refer to
<SETG P-PRSO <BUT-MERGE ,P-PRSO>>and
<SETG P-PRSI <BUT-MERGE ,P-PRSI>>P-PRSO and P-PRSI are defined in random-globals.zil lines 18-19 as
<CONSTANT P-PRSO <ITABLE NONE 32>>
<CONSTANT P-PRSI <ITABLE NONE 32>>They should both be defined as globals, thus.
<GLOBAL P-PRSO <ITABLE NONE 32>>
<GLOBAL P-PRSI <ITABLE NONE 32>>The build needs an abbreviations file.
No build errors.
Tidy the main file. Remove extraneous statements.
Build errors due to double definitions.
Comment out the following lines in random-globals.zil.
<SETG SEX <>>
<SETG FERROR-COUNT 0>
<SETG P-LASTADJ <>>
