Subject: [ANN] Dwarf Fortress 34.11 available for sabotage/musl

dwarf fortress[0] is a very well known freeware game available for 
linux, however only for glibc based systems, and i386 (32bit) only.

the graphics part of it is opensource, available here: [1]
i forked it and applied a couple of patches to remove GTK+ and
OpenGL dependencies, so it works with plain SDL and stdio[2].

using this trimmed down libgraphics.so, it's possible to run
the GLibc linked binary thanks to musl's ABI compatibility
(either by patching the DT_INTERP with patchelf to point to
musl's dynlinker, or by launching /lib/ld-musl-i386.so.1 $binary,
we do the latter in order to not touch the original binaries).

the libgraphics.so was additionally linked against ncurses, so
it can be used even in a raw terminal if no X server is available.
to use the ncurses driver, change the driver from "2D" to "TEXT"
in data/init/init.txt.

i've uploaded 3 full DF tarballs containing this custom
libgraphics.so to

http://ftp.barfooze.de/pub/sabotage/bin/

dwarf_fortress_34_11_linux_musl.tar.xz :
equivalent to the original df_34_11_linux.tar.bz2 from upstream.
only libgraphics.so and libstdc++.so/libgcc_s.so has been swapped
out for sabotage ones to reduce the incompatibility surface.
note that libstdc++.so from GCC >= 4.6 is not compatible with the
game binary.

dwarf_fortress_34_11_linux_musl_including_all_deps.tar.xz :
same as above, however all needed 32bit libraries have been added.
that way this tarball can be extracted on a x86_64 or i386 system
and started without further ado.

dwarf_fortress_34_11_linux_musl_including_all_deps_and_mayday_tileset.tar.xz 
:
same as above, plus the graphical tileset "mayday".
mayday support has been added using the patch/script available on [3].

so, now that even DF works on musl, there's no reason waiting any longer 
to switch completely :-)

have lots of Fun,
