OpenTal 1.0 in a linux operating system

[pferd]

I took the Makefile from Rodent and put it into this package.

https://www.sendspace.com/file/wybykm

Unpack the package, go to the sources subdirectory.
Install g++ with sudo apt install g++
Type make clean && make gcc-popcnt-profiled and you should have a running version.

Thank you very much !

I'd like to tell you that I prefer version 1.0, as I tested it in Windows 10.

I'll try your version 1.1 again.

Download Opental 1.1 64-Bit Linux Version*:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zf8541xvaeo72 ... ar.xz?dl=0

*Fixed the compiler errors thanks to Antonio, also fixed the malformed UCI ID-String

Thanks for the replies! It still hasn't been possible to get a version of OpenTal working on the linux system. Even the UCI of version 1.0 or 1.1 doesn't work with Arena in wine, and neither does Rodent III - it seems to be an issue with these three engines which are new to me as all other UCI engines I've used over the previous ten years on the system work fine. I wish there could be a solution apart from redoing the system with a split hd boot partition (one for linux, the other for Windows) but maybe fdisk with a boot cd and total rewrite is the only way to go. It is OpenTal 1.0 that is most wanted, btw. Thanks again!

It's hard to believe that it's an issue with the engine itself. What's the CPU in your computer and what operating system do you use? Maybe you use binaries that depend on instructions which your CPU does not support.

If you are not sure, here is how to obtain these informations:

Code: Select all

sudo lshw -C cpu

uname -a

Hi,

They all Compile and run perfectly on the arm7 32bit Raspberry Pi running Linux Debian Stretch.


Cheers,
