• Step 2: unpack.

  
  NetHack is shipped in a single archive created with tar and then shrunk with gzip. To unpack under Unix, the following commands should be executed in an empty directory:

  	gzcat nethack-343-src.tgz > nethack-343-src.tar
  	tar xf nethack-343-src.tar
  

  Some versions of Linux do not have a gzcat command. Use the following commands instead:

  	gzip -dc nethack-343-src.tgz > nethack-343-src.tar
          tar xf nethack-343-src.tar
  

  If you intend to compile the NetHack sources for a Windows CE target, then you also need to unzip nethack-343-ce-proj.zip into the sys/wince folder.

  The gzip package (containing gzip, gunzip, and gzcat) may be obtained from the Free Software Foundation. A version of tar is also available from the same site.

• Step 3: build.

  See the file README in the top level directory unpacked in Step 2 for build instructions for the various operating systems.
