danasah for linux

[Pedro Castro]

I tried to make a compilation of danasah for linux (without books and without egbb), can anyone prove that it works?

http://danasah.googlepages.com/danasah363

As parameter must pass the engine "xboard"

Thank you,

[Volker Pittlik]

... can anyone prove that it works? ...

At least it starts working here in a SUSE 10.2 32-bit:

DanaSah v.3.63 FRC, web: http://danasah.tk

DanaSah only supports the winboard interface.

May I ask how you managed that? When I try to make it from the sources I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

It would be interesting to know for me because I'm again interested in compter chess but mainly in open source programs which can be compiled for Linux.

Thanks Volker.

DanaSah uses 2 dll files in Windows, one to access the opening book of Rebel/Prodeo and other to access to the bitbases of Scorpio, these are the problems that you have to compile (and function max). I have therefore deleted references to the book and egbb.

In the coming days I will try egbbs in linux (Daniel supports this) and add a book for linux.

For now if you want to compile the code is:
http://danasah.googlepages.com/danasah363linux.zip

The file danasah.ini of configuration would be the same as in windows without set book and egbbs.

Very good! It compiles without errors and runs!

I saw only some minor small bugs:

Code: Select all

protover 2
feature setboard=1 draw=0 sigint=0 sigterm=0 myname="DanaSah v.3.63 FRC" variants="normal,fischerandom" colors=0 ics=1
feature done=1
jsdgkjh
Error (unknown command): jsdgkjh
1/2-1/2 {Draw by insufficient material}


Someone may try to exploit that.

If I leave the lines about the bitbases in the ini files blank:

Code: Select all

Ini file danasah.ini found.
ownbook off
Table hash size 128 Mb.
Eval cache size 16 Mb.
Eval cache size 16 Mb.
Bitbases path:
Bitbases men: -1209150321

May cause trouble somehow.

Thank you very much again.
