To be honest I let Jim Ablett do the work with compiling. I let the java launcher go since it seems to work in mysterious ways sometimes (probably not the launcher's fault though, some interfaces just does not like it).

Perhaps Jim wants to share some of his knowledge.


I see we share the same compiling guru. Jim already gave me some feedbacks about Java compiling and the rest should be on my own. His brief guides helped a lot in learning C/C++ compiling starting from zero knowledge. If you're interested, there is an ongoing development of a java chess engine at SF.net which they call DeepDuke. It maybe released soon if the author makes quick progress. You can also add PsychoChess and Capa chess which is also an open spource java engine (at SF.net).

I think Spike can be also compiled as a Java program, but I don't know if it has ever been released in that mode.


On its site, it says "...Spike is written in C++ and Java at the same time. It is mostly possible to write a program code that can be compiled by a C++ compiler and a Java JIT (Just in time compiler)...". Maybe those who tested the first versions released could testify if there was such. But they could compile a Spike special edition in Java in the future to compare its performance in another compiling platform.


If you get the converter from the guys who make SimpleSQL, it comes with a Java to C++ converter:

It only works on a subset of the language (or that is how it works that last time I checked). At any rate, that might be an interesting avenue to investigate for some chess engines.
