UCI question - limiting search depth

[hgm]

The following three commands did it for me, starting from a virgin download:

Code: Select all

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

I hardly know anything about Linux, let alone automake, but I think ./configure is supposed to create a Makefile from Makefile.in, while ./autogen.sh contains a whole load of commands that create a configure and config.h from config.in.

If the Makefile is not present after ./configure, the latter must have terminated with errors. (Perhaps because you are missing other required packages, like libraries.)

I got past that last problem thanks to your hint to look more closely for errors. I had to add another package to make the autogen.sh + ./configure work.

Now a Makefile is present. When I try to compile though with make, I get quite a few errors. It appears I am missing some files:

As an example, X11/Xaw/... in /etc/X11 there is no Xaw directory (if that is where it is expecting to find X11/Xaw)

Indeed, it seems you are missing the Xaw library (libXaw). All later errors are a likely a consequence of that.

I am not sure how the ./configure could fail to miss that. On my Ubuntu I would try something like "sudo apt-get install libXaw". But I am afraid this is about where my *nix knowledge ends; you would need a real *nix gru to help you here. Perhaps if you post the question in the programmers section, you would have better chances to attract the attention of such a person.

I got it. I had to install some xaw packages (did search in Synaptic) and ultimately a program called "flex" and then the ./autogen.sh ; ./configure; make worked.

I now have a 64-bit Xboard 4.4.0. I am not sure how to build a 64-bit .deb package of that yet, so that will be my next task. If successful, I will let you know so you can post that to your website for 64-bit Ubuntu users to download/install.

I guess the quickest way would be to unpack an existing package for the i386 architecture (like the xboard-4.4.0~hgm-8_i386.deb obtainable from the WB forum) with the archive manager, rather than feeding it to the package installer.

A debian package contains two zipped folders, control and data. When you extract the files in the control section to a folder foo/DEBIAN, and the ./usr tree in the data section to foo/usr, you can then re-package with the command

dpkg -b foo NEWNAME.deb

Before you do that, you would have to replace the xboard binary foo/usr/games/xboard by an x64 compile, and update the md5 checksum for it in foo/DEBIAN/md5sums. (Be careful to throw away any backup files *~ gedit might leave behind.)
