It was compiled on a Mac Mini with OS X 10.5.8, using clang 4.2.1,

Re: Cheese 1.6
No I don't really have a fondness for cheese, I choose this name because in France we are more known for our cheeses than our chess players.

Thanks Patrice for the Mac support!

Your engines run well on my Mac with OSX 10.9. The pop version is about 5% faster here. Maybe with macports gcc 4.7 or 4.8 you could speed up both compiles a bit.Patrice Duhamel wrote:Cheese 1.6 is available :

Re: Cheese 1.6
Thanks for testing.
I tried to install a more recent version of gcc using macports, but it was not able to install it, I don't remember the error message.

Re: Cheese 1.6.1
I released a new version, Cheese 1.6.1 :
http://cheesechess.free.fr/en/download.html
Changes :
- Fixed problem in pondering on Linux / Mac OS X, now use unbuffered stdin
- Fixed problems when pondering was canceled
- Fixed "level" command for Xboard, now use floats for increment
- Fixed : uci command "info depth" was sent in Xboard mode
This version only fix few problems with pondering on Linux / Mac OS X, and with Xboard protocol.
It doesn't change the strength of the engine.
