HI,

without reading the whole thread , ChessBase article on Fritz17 is here.

Many GUI enhancements in my opinion.

Sounds like you did not install it. Normally this is done by "sudo make install". This command would place the XBoard binary where it belongs, as well as the data files that XBoard needs in order to run. (The image files for the pieces, background bitmaps for the board, the master settings file, th...

Also running xboard I get this :

That is strange, because it says "0 errors", and warnings alone should not prevent creation of an executable. And I don't see any warnings from the linking phase (CCLD). Are you sure you are lookig for it in the right place? Do you see all the .o files that are produced by the CC commands? I am see...

I am trying to compile XBoard in Code::Blocks IDE . I used ./configure command to generate Makefile . Now trying a rebuild I get : -------------- Clean: all in xboard_fork (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)--------------- Executing clean command: make -f /home/mehdi/Documents/Code_Blocks_Projects/xboard_f...

I have no idea how timers play any role in 'replay analysis'. But Xboard already display two timers, and has a dialog to specify time control that allows you to enter base time and increment. (Not sure how you could do such a thing with a button, though.) For instance imagine user set the training ...

I thought it was just a matter of adding the played move(s) as a (parentheses-enclosed) 'comment' to the moves in training mode, as long as they differ from the move of the main line or from each other. That would be a pure back-end change (and thus work in XBoa...

Version 2, IIRC. I don't know Glade. I suppose it is a tool for designing dialogs with GTK. XBoard does not use it; all its dialogs are generated dynamically from tables. It needed a routine to do that anyway for the Engine Settings dialogs, from the table of options it receives from the engine. I ...

Hi,

What is the version of GTK used in XBoard ?

Can I use Glade to add graphics to XBoard ?

A script cd 'path' ./configure make sudo make install Should work without problems; the effect of the 'cd' would remain valid within the same script. The shell that had executed it would only terminate when it reaches the end of the script. After that the shell from which you invoked the script wou...
