Sure. I have read in other fora that is Umko, but the author had to change the name due to a copyright issue (like FireBird to Fire).

Yes, it's basically Umko 1.2 becoming MinkoChess 1.3, by Bokro Boskovic, the same author that was doing BBChess before. He's been active for a long time, so it's not really a new engine.

The only problem is that his code doesn't compile (problem in the makefile with pthread). I'll see if there's an easy fix for it.

From an email from Borko to me:
MinkoChess is actually Umko with some changes

So they are different.

Lucas, the following worked for me: make ARCH=x64_SSE4 OS=linux
Specifically, passing OS=linux to the makefile adds -lpthread to LIBS. (Sorry for the noise if you have already tried that.)
