Compiling Skaki 1.19 problems

[Jim Ablett]

I'm attempting a bugfix of Skaki 1.19, but I'm having trouble compiling it. I'm using MSVC++ 6. It's compiling the source ok, but when it comes to linking it's throwing up all sorts of errors (about 30).

Any help suggestions would be appreciated.

Jim.

I'd suggest that you post the error messages you get.

Hi Remi,

Here's what I'm getting. (excuse me if I'm doing something
fundamentally stupid - I'm new to MSVC! )

It is very likely that the program that you are trying to compile contains other .cpp files besides Skaki.cpp. Those files should contain the definition of QueueEdit, etc. If this is the case, then you should include them into the project along with Skaki.cpp.

The errors at the end of the list tend to indicate that there are other problems.

[Jim Ablett]

Thanks for the reply Remi,

Maybe you (or some other kind soul) could maybe
have a go at compiling the source code, then show me how
to do it.

Just use the project and code in here:
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chess-engines/n ... ki-src.zip

Works fine for me.

[Sven Schüle]

Hi Jim,

the project file Skaki.dsp references two cpp files, Skaki.cpp and skakif.cpp. The latter in turn #include-s all other cpp files. So I think that it should work if you just build the whole Skaki project. Are you working with the MSDevStudio or with the commandline compiler only?

Sven

[Jim Ablett]

Cracked it!
I appreciate everyone's help - Remi, Dann, Sven.
Compiling ok using Dann's source code.

Thanks,
Jim.

[Dann Corbit]

I forgot to mention that some changes were needed to use modern compilers.

For instance, the include files were old style (e.g.):

Code: Select all

#include <iostream.h>


instead of:

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
using namespace std; // OK, I'm lazy.
