basically doing the same since 1974. however with
- support for musl libc
- support for netbsd curses
- support for compile without openGL
- support for compile without GTK
(hint: there's one branch per major DF release)
I wasn't aware of that. I'm going to check it out. Thanks!
i updated the readme with more details. thanks for taking a look!
Looks neat. One note on the readme - Toady actually used GCC 4.5 until 0.43.05, when he switched to 4.8 on Linux (and kept 4.5 on OS X).
interesting. i seem to recall that running objdump or strings on 0.43.05 binary (comment section) said it was 4.6 but i may be wrong. what i know definitely is that 4.7 is compatible (since 4.7 is the standard compiler of sabotage linux, my distro).
Running strings on libs/Dwarf_Fortress gives a bunch of occurrences of GCC: (GNU) 4.5.1. You should be able to use a libgraphics built with any newer version of GCC, though, as long as you're also using a newer libstdc++ (and for GCC 5+, you'll need this flag). For all I know, 4.5 and 4.6 could be interchangeable - I know 4.5 and 4.8 aren't, but I haven't worked with 4.6 much.

maybe that depends on how libstdc++ was built; probably there is some way to build it with versioned symbols for older C++ ABI and then it will work, and big distros might default to doing it that way.
this graph here shows imo pretty nicely how its built: https://github.com/rofl0r/df-libgraphics/network
