What happened to GCC?

[Gabor Szots]

Don't know why it doesn't work for you. It still works here (Linux).

I would use a Makefile. For example this one I have made for an engine named Leonidas.

Code: Select all

SRC := $(wildcard *.c)

leonidas: ${SRC}
	gcc -o $@ $^

When I type make in a terminal, I can see the command sent to gcc:

[roland@localhost leonidas-makefile]$ make
gcc -o leonidas bitboard.c board.c evaluate.c game.c genrand.c hashkey.c hashtable.c keypressed.c leo.c move.c movegen.c perft.c pieces.c play.c search.c see.c square.c timer.c variants.c xboard.c

That Makefile should work for any C program. It will work also under Windows, provided that you have make.exe.

Well, it seemed to work (it did not complain of the arguments) but I don't know how to include c files from subdirectories (such as pyrrhic and incbin), also how to make it include h files from those two folders.
I guess I will have to learn how to construct a makefile.

Thanks anyway.

Please try:

SRC := $(wildcard *.c) $(wildcard pyrrhic/*.c)
CFLAGS=-Ipyrrhic -Iincbin

Not tested but it may work.

Yes, it works. Thank you very much.

You can add your own options to the CFLAGS variable.
Generally you should always use the shell which comes with your compiler, for several reasons.
