working source for stockfish 1.6.2

[BBauer]

Lately I tried to compile the source of Jim Ablett's package stockfish-162-ja with the Intel compiler. An executable is generated but it produces no output. If I don't use any optimisation I will get some output.
Where can I get a bugfree stockfish source which will compile?
The glaurung side would be a nice place to get it.
Kind regards
Bernhard

If the sources post by Jim are buggy the solution is _not_ to post the correct sources on another site but to _fix_ the Jim's one.

Said that, I also add that the sources posted by Jim are the same of all the official 1.6.2 sources you can find out there and that Jim used the same sources to build (with Intel compiler) the binaries.

So the correct question, please forgive my rudeness, should have been: "I have a problem compiling SF with Intel, could you please give me some hint on how to do it properly ?"

In this case should be useful if you could post some info like:

- OS used
- Compiler used: name and version
- Tried build procedure: tell what you did and what you got.
- Testing: tell how you verified SF does not work

Thanks in advance

Hi Marco,
I disagree.

If the sources post by Jim are buggy the solution is to post the corrected source.
I hoped that Jim's sources are the best, but if his sources are the official 1.6.2 sources this means that the official 1.6.2 sources are buggy.
I have no problem compiling SF with Intel if I do not use any optimisation.
I do not expect you to be able to give me some hint on how to do it properly, but I expect you to be able to correct the source.

Can you build it with gcc?

[BBauer]

Yes!
I used
GCCFLAGS = -O3 -march=native -mtune=native

and by starting with ./stockfish
i get the output
Stockfish 1.6.2 64bit. By Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, Joona Kiiski.

- Tried build procedure: make icc

Please, could you post the console output of 'make icc' command ?

[BBauer]

Yes, I did
make icc > cosoleoutput
and got on the console:

Now I do:
./stockfish
go

And nothing happens.

Hope that helps somewhat.
Kind regards

[mcostalba]

And nothing happens.

I don't see the linking phase !

Could you please try with 'make icc-profile' and post the output ?

If a group of folk are working on Stockfish or others, why not put it up on a sourceforge type of site so patches can be managed for the group via svn?

The group of folk is of 3 people and we are already organized to work well togheter, thank you.

If you have some patch to send, please post here or send to me in pm.
