New J.A Compiles

[Arzam]

Yes Jim, I knew it but what I mean is if you aware to the build "linux-aarch64 static" musl self-contained binary?

Arzam.

All my Rust android builds are compiled that way. Sometimes engines will compile ok (such as Tcheran) but will crash when run. This is an engine code issue, probably memory handling related that only author should fix it they want to.

Hi Jim,
in your old archive there is a Exchess251 archive but no executable. I only have a 16bit Chessbase native of Exchess 2.51. Is it possible to make a 32bit WB version? If not no problem, I can run it in a virtual W98 machine. Thank you.

Hi Wilhelm,

Here you are > https://drive.proton.me/urls/YNFR9C2B4W#4iKnsqNft5MS

The source code was tricky to compile. It's written to compile with ancient Borland compiler so I had to convert to Mingw32.

Hello Jim,

people often wonder where certain individuals get all that energy from.
OK, Jim is full of energy.

BTW:
Yeah ... thats Zangdar!
Zangdar is available, is available, you know is available ...
Also nice the bugfix for Prune!



Good news!!
Energy come back ... if I am speaking for myself.

We wrote the year, July 14th, 2026 and July 13th, 2026.
National Holiday in France, such great engines!!

Now, it's going to be a head-to-head battle with Prune.
Go Zangdar and go Prune go ... the French maestros!

Best
Frank

Jim.

Out of curiosity, did Tcheran write an .err.log file when it crashed? This would give me some idea of the issue.

Thanks Jim, Zangdar and Lunar works fine on my phone without any errors.

Thanks again for the time and effort you spend on.

Joseph.
