Rebel 15.1 problems

[chessica]

Hello chess friends, when I start this program "Rebel-15.1-sse.exe", then a console opens
so that I can enter "UCI". Then the list of known options appears. If I then enter "GO",
then nothing happens.

Since the source files are included I wanted to do the compilation with the help of the MS MSVS.

Everything looks fine until the error C2664 appears. What is the cause or how can I fix it?
Does anyone here have a good idea?







error C2664: "HANDLE CreateFileA(LPCSTR,DWORD,DWORD,LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES,DWORD,DWORD,HANDLE)"

If I then enter "GO", then nothing happens.

Try keeping in line with the UCI protocol. Just entering "go" is not sufficient. After "uci", enter "isready" and wait for a "readyok" from the engine. Then enter "ucinewgame", followed by "position startpos" (or whatever position you wish), then "go" with some parameter such as "go infinite". You can stop the calculation by entering "stop".

then the program is closing .-(

Could it have to do with the designations for the bishop, knight, etc?

Start the engine from the command line and type: go depth 17

That's pretty odd.

How old is your computer? It could be your processor doesn't support SSE.

[chessica]

Hello, my CPU has the following Instructions sets: sse, sse2, sse3, sse4a, x86-64

[Rebel]

Maybe re-download the engine?

Just curious. Did you compile the binary yourself from source? If so, did you use Visual Studio?

I recall seeing a thread from Eelco on Ed's forum where somebody encountered the same error - except this was during a compilation of Toga and not running Rebel from the commandline. It might be totally unrelated, but I thought I would mention it.

"Error C2664 'HANDLE CreateFileA(LPCSTR,DWORD,DWORD,LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES,DWORD,DWORD,HANDLE)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'wchar_t [1024]' to 'LPCSTR' 1Toga D:\Downloads\1Toga\useful.cpp 170 " when trying to compile rebel or toga 4, before and after following post instructions
