Cutechess Compilation errors

Post by phenri »

Since cutechess stops working after a while, I decided to compile it.
But unfortunately I meet many difficulties. Here is the latest.

Code: Select all

src\tournament.cpp: In member function 'void Tournament::setResume(int)':
src\tournament.cpp:232:2: error: 'nextGame' was not declared in this scope
the source code from jeremy https://github.com/jeremybernstein/cutechess/

Why not take the official source:
https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess

or better:
https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/tree/cli-0.6.0

or send an e-mail to Jeremy telling him (...what he probably knows already).

This one looks just like one single error: at two places in the code the qMin() function is used in a way that I would call non-portable. One function argument is the difference of two pointers which is of type ptrdiff_t, and on 64 bit systems this is not an "int" but a "long long int" which breaks the signature of qMin() where two arguments of identical types are expected. The fix should be a conversion like "int(ptr1-ptr2)" instead of "ptr1-ptr2".

In 80% of cases, It's always the same story; the code works and compiles only in the machine of its author.

Thanks Sven for the help, but I can not find "ptr1-ptr2". Now I understand that it meant something else.

You can consider this thread as solved because I give up.

Thank Louis for the help. This has solved this error but then another occurred, then another and another...(QT4/5, pthreads, w32,lt, gtb, minGW, cygwin, crap, etc...)
Then finally I got a binary file. The problem now is that it makes an enormous size (debug I guess) and he claims DLL files.
Now I really resign for a while.

ps: I solved the bad behaviour with cutechess by setting restart to OFF. Problem solved. Thank you.
