Topple Chess x64 Windows - new compile

[Norbert Raimund Leisner]

Hello,
can anyone of you create a new Windows x64 (without bmi2) edition of https://github.com/konsolas/ToppleChess/ please?

Vincent said: The UCI protocol hadn't been fully implemented: the new commit should implement UCI to the extent of being able to play a game under a GUI.

The new source code seems to be from 2018-05-31.

Best wishes,
Norbert

Compiling this natively under Windows is not so easy, I tried with both MSVC 14.1 and Intel C++ 18.0 but there are too many issues. Of course, these issues can be solved, but I don't want to start poking around in the source of somebody else to get it compiled.

Maybe somebody with MinGW-w64 can give it a try.

This is compiled with mingw-w64. I added the git hash to the engine version and edited the cmakelists.txt slightly. Hope it runs on your machine:

Sorry, Topple is still struggling with the basics of UCI at the moment. I've recently added a new commit which should be better at observing rules.

[pferd]

I compiled again, based on the latest commit.

Hey pferd, thanks for compiling it; are you using -march=ivybridge to compile without BMI2?

[pferd]

I used some generic options similar to the one Stockfish uses for its modern compiles -O3 -msse3 -mpopcnt -Wall -static.

I did a quick comparison of the flags mentioned above and the default flags and did not notice any major difference...

Hello CCRL/CEGT users,

can you test please https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bCiP_r ... 2QqCZ/view ? The x64 popcnt version crashes immediately under WinBoard 4.8.0 GUI. And https://transfer.sh/cfqH6/Topple.exe (no bmi.2 , ivy bridge) shows under Arena 3.5.1: illegal move

Regards,
Norbert

Besides a few small issues I was able to build the latest commit of ToppleChess under Windows. I tried it briefly on my own system and I didn't encounter any problems with it.
