To all people compiling dev versions of SF

Post by mcostalba »

I have added 2 new make targets:

Code: Select all

make signature-build ARCH=xxx COMP=xxx
make signature-profile-build ARCH=xxx COMP=xxx
When compiling with one of the above the bench signature will be retrieved and embedded in the resulting binary so that when calling

./stockfish

from command line, instead of usual date stamp it will be shown the so call 'signature' number that strictly identifies the sources from which binary has been compiled, independently from build date. This should allow to more easily understand what version of the sources people is testing.
