PostPost subject: ExChess 6.02 & 6.10 issue on ARM (Ubuntu 12.04)    Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:02 am Reply to topic Reply with quote

Hi,
just finished converting my Toshiba AC100 ARM Netbook (originally running Android) to a "full blown" Cool Ubuntu 12.04 Linux system. Time came to compile on this litte system some chess related stuff. Whith most of them (i.e. Xboard 4.6.0, Stockfish 2.2.2, Arasan 14.1, Crafty 23.4 or Texel 1.01) all went fine. Only ExChess 6.10 does not search moves.

Code:
max@AC100:~/src/exchess610$ ./exchess610

Thread-Modell: posix
gcc-Version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu4)


Same happens to version 6.02. Both finish calculating a move instantly without searching. But 6.01 works well! The Ubuntu ARM gcc 4.6.3 incompatibility came into account with ExChess 6.02. Perhaps some x86 related tuning (but compiled without errors on ARMhf)?
