information on building Crawl. When you're done building Crawl, look
at the section "Data files" for important information on what files
Crawl needs as it starts up.

Data files
----------
Crawl looks for several data files when starting up. They include:
* Special level and vault layout (dat/*.des) files.
* Core Lua code (dat/clua/*.lua).
* Descriptions for monsters and game features (dat/descript/*.txt).
* Monster dialogue files (dat/*.txt).
All these files are in the source tree under source/dat.

Crawl will also look for documentation files when players invoke the
help system. These files are available under the docs directory.
Your built Crawl binary must be able to find these files, or it will
not start.
If Crawl is built without an explicit DATA_DIR_PATH (this is the most
common setup), it will search for its data files under the current
directory, and if it can't find them there, one level above the
current directory. In short, it uses these search paths: ., ./dat,
./docs, .., ../dat, ../docs.
If Crawl is built with an explicit DATA_DIR_PATH (for multiuser
installs on Unix), it will look for its startup files strictly under
that directory: $DIR, $DIR/dat, $DIR/docs.
As Crawl loads its startup files, it will convert them to a binary
format (so that future startups will be faster) and store these binary
files in the saves directory. These binary files (with extensions .db,
.dsc, .idx, .lk) can be safely deleted as long as there is no running
Crawl, and they will be regenerated the next time Crawl starts.
