New engine releases & news 2021

[Brunetti]

I’ve tried on my Raspberry 4 32 bit.
It appears to be 64 bit only, and maybe only for Windows.

Try to adapt this one:

Code: Select all

BIN_NAME=Hopper.exe
BUILD_DIR=build
SRC_DIR=src

CXXFLAGS=-std=c++14 -O3 -march=native
LDFLAGS=-pthread

SRC_FILES = $(shell find $(SRC_DIR) -name *.cpp)
OBJ_FILES = $(SRC_FILES:%.cpp=$(BUILD_DIR)/%.o)

$(BUILD_DIR)/$(BIN_NAME) : $(OBJ_FILES)
	$(CXX) $(OBJ_FILES) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS)

$(BUILD_DIR)/%.o: %.cpp
	@mkdir -p $(dir $@)
	$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c $< -o $@

.PHONY: clean

clean:
	@rm -rf $(BUILD_DIR)

Thanks for the suggested Makefile Alex.

I have adapted it for the Chess source folder, but after fire fighting the amount of *.h files that need to either start with a capital letter or not, I eventually get something that begins to compile but then there’s too many errors to fault find.

I guess it’s not meant to be.


Thanks again,

Al.

Thanks!

I looked more closely at the movegen library I use and found quite a few places that were already doing this that I was doing as well.
Like doMove also did an implicit move-validity check.
