Winboard-XQ Xiangqi engines run under linux wine

Post by edwardyu »

I have tried to run my xiangqi engine under linux WINE with Winboard-XQ and it crashes. The built-in engines MaxQi, HaQiKiD and EleEye are OK. My engine is compiled using MS Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express in another Windows XP machine. I have tried MS VS 2008 Express and it still crashes. I have installed all the MS VC 2005, 2008 and 2010 re-distribution DLL in WINE but the problem still exist. I guess the WINE support of MS C++ complied application is not so good.

Then I tried DEV-C++ which is a gcc complier in Windows. Miraclely it works in linux WINE !!!

I think the MS VC++ Express compiler should be more optimized than the DEV-C++ GCC complier. Anyone know how to use the latest GCC complier in DEV-C++?

How do you mean, 'should be more optimized'? Have you compared on Windows how much time it takes for the two binaries to reach the same depth?
