no, there isn't. I don't know if it's compatible. It can be built for linux arm and run on a raspberry

I'm using cmake for the build, I have to remove the old Makefile. the CMake has the configuration for rapsberry, windows and linux build

I'm working to a totally rewritten Vajolet, with a good Cmake, chess960 and maybe configurabe strenght :)
