Hi,

Can I use Glade to add graphics to XBoard ?

A script cd 'path' ./configure make sudo make install Should work without problems; the effect of the 'cd' would remain valid within the same script. The shell that had executed it would only terminate when it reaches the end of the script. After that the shell from which you invoked the script wou...

What to do ? :~$ source cd_test.sh But why would you want to do that? Thanks , this worked for this file. BTW I want this to easily compile XBoard in case of using terminal and such a shell: cd 'path' && ./configure && make && sudo make install && read -p "Press enter to continue" #keep shell

So when you register it through the Load 1st Engine menu, you should specify "stockfish" as the engine command (and the directory should be of no importanc...

Should I just copy Stockfish 10 to usr/games then in XBoard "Engine" menu "Load new 1st engine" and select that. Or that is something different ?

P() is a macro #defined in common.h, as #if defined(__STDC__) || defined(WIN32) || defined(_amigados) #define P(args) args typedef void *VOIDSTAR; #else #define P(args) () typedef char *VOIDSTAR; #endif It seems to be there or compatibility purposes with compilers that do not allow the function pro...

Hi,

Why so many such declarations/definitions exist in XBoard-4.9.1 ?

For instance from backend.h :
I did not see such a style even in K&R 2.
