Winboard Forum

I managed to compile and install Xboard 4.3.15 on my distribution (a Debian Lenny) with checkinstall. This software
can replace the "make install" command and build DEB, RPM or Slackware packages.

However I noticed two small problems during the installation :
- The "configure" script was not executable. The command

Code: Select all

chmod +x configure

is needed.
- The files xboard.man and xboard.info were missing, causing a failure of checkinstall. The first file can be created by the command

Code: Select all

./texi2man xboard.texi

. texi2man must be executable too. I had to copy the second file from xboard 4.2.7.
