Request for help getting old versions to compile on Mint 19
I figured it would be fairly easy to get older versions to compile using update-alternatives to work with older versions of g++, but I was unsuccessful. I figure there must be a handful of other prereqs that need to be replaced with older versions to get things working, but I don't know where to start. Can I request help from someone a bit more technically minded than I am? I'd like to get every version from .14 onward running on my machine.
Help would be much appreciated.
TLDR addendum to this post:
Rather than shake my tiny fist at the heavens when devs remove a feature I liked, I decided some time ago to just treat each version of DCSS as a different, if similar, game. I've found it fun to play all the various versions, sometimes back to back. This may be quixotic but hey, if I was a normal gamer, I'd just get a PS4.
And in response to "Why not play online?" I've just always preferred the local version to webtiles.
