Fruit reloaded 2.1: Android builds available

[Daniel Mehrmann]

Hello,

finally i found some time to build a Android version of Fruit reloaded 2.1.

Fruit reloaded supports all hardware variants of Android. You will find four binaries. Usually you should take 'fruit-reloaded-armeabi'.
I've added the build script 'build-android.sh' and makefile 'Makefile.android' to the public repository if you want build your own version.

Unfortunately it seems to be that the "Android-GCC", modify by Google, has some bugs and it's currently impossible to use the SMP-Search. So, this version of Fruit reloaded 2.1 is a single core version.
Well, if you have a dual or quad core Phone, you can be sure you'll miss no call.

You can download Fruit reloaded 2.1 for Android on http://www.chessprogramming.net/fruit-reloaded/
Repository: https://github.com/Akusari/Fruit-reloaded-public/

Daniel

Works great. Thanks!

Thanks Maybe you like to add Fruit reloaded to your tourneys.

Well, i have an SMP version now too, but it works with a "dirty" hack.

I walk through my smp code up and down the last days and it's really a compiler thing. It looks like this Google-GCC doing something with alignment and structs and/or ignore "volatile" statements with variables.
For me it looks a bit crazy that i need to add some unused space (pads) inside the thread data arrays.

However, i don't plan to release this "workaround" version. But if enough users want this version, i would do it of course.
Personaly i think a signle core version is enough for playing.

Regards
Daniel
