Operating system hostility is as big a pile of foolishness as racism.
This statement really intrigues me. Could you explain what you mean in greater detail? I was under the impression it runs fine under Windows.

It won't build with the Microsoft, Intel or Mingw compilers without modification.

It will build under Cygwin's Posix layer, but pretty much any Posix program will port effortlessly there.

There is someone who has modified versions, which I don't remember where to find right now. Those build without too much difficulty and they are the versions that I use.

Early versions of GnuChess 5 would build right out of the box with any compiler I might like to choose. I don't mind the inclusion of pthreads of timeofday() because those sorts of things are simple to overcome due to Windows variants that are available. It takes some effort to get to the point where I can actually compile the original sources, so I am not sure what the actual API calls are that cause problems.

I notice that there is a new version 5.08. I will see if it will compile cleanly without resorting to Cygwin. Mingw will generally compile most Posix apps (though there are some things like fork() will defeat mingw).

Antonio Ceballos, Simon Waters, Stuart Cracraft.

This is good news even with the age of the software. I expected this to happen in 2007 or 2008.

hgm wrote:OK, thanks. It seems they are struggling to do something that has already been done (namely make an adapter that at the front-end understands both XBoard and UCI protocol, and at the back-end converses with Fruit in UCI), and is not needed (because current XBoard spawns Polyglot itself when running UCI engines. If they really want to convert Fruit into an XBoard engine, they would save themselves a lot of trouble by contacting me anyway; I probably already have the code for that lying around...
Ooo, XBoard automatically calls PolyGlot :)
I didn't know.
Indeed it makes a big difference.

But UCI only is not what they want either.
There is the default console mode, perhaps taken from previous GNU Chess versions.
They could spawn in this case too, but they seem to dislike it.
On second thought, they could also place the console-mode code inside of PolyGlot.

Oh, great, 5.08 finally. It was so long time since 5.07 release that the project looked dead basically. Which was a shame because there were so many bugs in 5.07. Then someone (Michel van den Bergh) made a fork and fixed the most serious bugs. (Available here). Now this forked version compiles and runs fine under Windows. I'm curious if 5.08 backports any of his fixes.

5.08 will build under Mingw if we include -lpthread on the link line.

Re: GNU Chess 6 (= Fruit)

Post by Dann Corbit »

Here is the project with a 64 bit binary and required DLL files compiled with mingw 64 bit:
http://cap.connx.com/chess-engines/new- ... ss-5.08.7z

I do not know how well it works, only that it compiles and runs.

Re: GNU Chess 6 (= Fruit)

Post by Michel »

Personally I find the development process of GnuChess 6 quite weird. When I started fixing bugs in 5.07 I posted a few times on the GnuChess mailing list but I didn't get any meaningful replies from the maintainers. They certainly didn't tell me they were secretly working on a new version. I can't understand why they would treat potential collaborators like that.

I suggest not bothering with 5.08. I looked at the CVS version recently and the changes were very small (but they did implement the memory command). GnuChess 6, being based on Fruit is obviously much stronger.

Personally I've gotten to like thinkering with GnuChess so I will probably fork 5.07. My current version of GnuChess already supports both UCI and xboard natively (and uses native windows threads). So if I for example implement the eval of Fruit it will be just as strong (and probably stronger given the improved search) as GnuChess 6 but with a much less hacky internal structure.

Hello Michel,

GnuChess supports UCI natively?

This is really news that I totally missed.

Sigh.

This is the version currently available for download?

Later.

Well I must admit that I don't get the point of this Fruit->GnuChess operation: I mean, we already have Fruit (actually it's called "Fruit"), and we have GnuChess, each with his own personality :).
Unless they have to keep somehow alive the GnuChess name no matter what, if that is the case this would be more understandable to me (but still it's just a matter of semantic).

If Michel will be willing to fork GnuChess 5.07, I will for sure enjoy it.

Cheers,

The name GNU Chess seems important for the FSF indeed.
And notice the difference between GPL and GNU licence.
I have lost all rights, but in exchange the FSF guarantees the project stays free forever.
With GPL, the author can do whatever he wants with each release.

IIRC it's Stuart Cracraft who asked it to me.
RMS was included only as copy.
The problem is that they did nothing with it for a couple of years.

So Stuart probably wanted to update GNU Chess, while at the same time having no intention to do the Fruit inclusion himself.

Fabien.
