about needing the mysys-2.0.dll file. Just having a look to see if it is on my computer.

I’m obviously doing something wrong - will need to figure this out. In the meantime , I will place a dll file out there for people to grab. Never had this issue before when using static.

:D

Thanks for the compiles.
Was wondering if you've resolved the dll issue as I would appreciate the how what etc.

I have the same problem when trying to compile the Honey suite, CorChess and a few others but NONE when compiling Stockfish-Dev.

Incidentally the 'rm *bench' at the top (line 39) in your build script is an issue - also with the 'benchnodes.txt' - sorry cannot remember the issue here .. :oops: :cry:

My issue was related to my own installation of msys2 and nothing else. The rm command will always give an error message if the file is not present but it does not stop script from continuing to process.

package includes everything you need - 5 engines , Honey, Stockfish ( sort of) , Black-Diamond , Bluefish and my favorite, Weakfish - all running the latest SF approved net , which is INCLUDED in the packaged and is name eval.bin so you don't get it confused with the other 50 or so nets you have already picked along the way .;>) Each engine has a logo directly derived from one of the Lewes Chessmen, hard carved from Walrus ivory about 700 years ago and recently , .. ahem ,.discovered in Scotland almost two HUNDRED years ago ...that is correct .. they were AWOL for almost 500 years ...
enjoy - more versions will be released soon...
Hi MIke
Stockfish-XIr5 (Honey-Xlr5 and so on) are Unix executable, but they do not appear to be UCI compatible. Cannot create the engines under Hiarcs Chess Explorer on my MacBook Pro. The program claims "No UCI engine".
Kind regards
