DON Chess Engine

What did you change? Just the makefile? What also bothers me are the .o files that weren't removed after compiling. A `make clean` command is probably missing from the makefile.

Is it compile now?

Any error?

please tell.

Thanks

That's rude and won't be well received. I'm still waiting for a reply from you. Otherwise, we can't proceed.

i changed this: line# 477

# Add --no-as-needed ONLY if using GNU ld (not lld, not Darwin)
ifneq ($(KERNEL), Darwin)
ifeq ($(shell $(CXX) -Wl,--version 2>/dev/null | grep -iq "GNU ld" && echo yes), yes)
LDFLAGS += -Wl,--no-as-needed
endif
endif

see this.

Thanks

No, under this link: https://github.com/ehsanrashid/DON I see this: Error 404!

Why don't you ask Jim to compile it in SSE3 or AVX? I'm sure he'll solve the problem...

There must be a reason for that.

Wait I have SSSE3 compiles. 2 version..

I upload it now. just wait.

Thanks

All builds are faulty and don't work for me, except for ssse3.

which one you are using ?

1. DON-SSE4.1
2. DON-AVX2
3-. DON-BMI2
3*. DON-BMI2-COMP
4-. DON-AVXVNNI
4*. DON-AVXVNNI-COMP
5-. DON-AVX512
5*. DON-AVX512-COMP

Thanks

It's difficult to say, because I didn't make a record.

What about this error?

gone now.. you compile?

Please check out the latest build of DON here:
I uploaded to 3 servers.

1. mediafire
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/06ewg9vo8mfuj/DON

2. mega
https://mega.nz/folder/Cc1zkbAR#bnycmCX38aGjK6YavnMWqw

3. pixeldrain
https://pixeldrain.com/l/dWZSiJZ8

Please tell me if you want other builds also.
I uploaded the following ARCH for windows.

1. DON-SSSE3
2. DON-SSSE3-POPCNT
3. DON-SSE41-POPCNT
4. DON-AVX2
5-. DON-BMI2
5*. DON-BMI2-COMP
6-. DON-AVXVNNI
6*. DON-AVXVNNI-COMP
7-. DON-AVX512
7*. DON-AVX512-COMP

*NOTE: *COMP = Compressed version
- ~50% lower memory usage, typically 1–2% faster.
- Recommended for long gameplay and analysis.

Thanks

That's incorrect, there's nothing in SSE3, see for yourself.
