Hello,

has anyone any idea on how to install crafty (chess) on slackware and let it
work with its opening books?

Thanks.

Download source files (tar.gz)...

....unpack and compile....

Thanks, but such things I don't need to read.
My problem comes from the makefile:

$:~/crafty-19.9$ make linux
make target=LINUX \
CC=gcc CXX=g++ \
CFLAGS=' -Wall -pipe -D_REENTRANT -march=i686 -O3 \
-fbranch-probabilities -fforce-mem -fomit-frame-pointer \
-fno-gcse -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2' \
CXFLAGS= \
LDFLAGS=' -lpthread -lstdc++' \
opt=' \
-DUSE_ASSEMBLY -DFAST \
-DPOSIX -DSMP -DCPUS=4 -DDGT' \
asm=X86.o \
crafty-make
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/thibaud/crafty-19.9'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/thibaud/crafty-19.9'
gcc -lpthread -lstdc++ -o crafty crafty.o egtb.o X86.o -lm
gcc: crafty.o: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [crafty-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thibaud/crafty-19.9'

And so what now?

Several hints:

- gcc version is often important with crafty - it's often compiled by
bob hyatt with the current stable version of gcc - gcc-3.3.5 or
gcc-3.3.6 is perfect for crafty-19.19 (nineteen.nineteen not
nineteen.nine!) the last version of crafty.
- in opt=' -DSMP -DCPUS=4' means a computer with 4 processors! (Is it
your case?) because bob hyatt have several SMP in his labs.
- in opt='-DDGT' is for wood chess board connected to computer.

In you don't need them you may remove these options.

- When using profiling compilation with gcc 3.3.x you have to compile
your program twice:
first with use of the option -fprofile-arcs and run the program a little
to generate all .da files.

second to remove all .o files and to compile with the option
-fbranch-probabilities instead of -fprofile-arcs to generate profiled
program which uses all .da files

You should have good informations in rec.games.chess.computer.

That is a rather old version of crafty. You may wish to try a newer
version, 19.20 is released (11 versions newer than your 19.9) and
the crafty mailing list hasn't had any linux related build problems
posted.
