JP.

That's the answer to where's Cfish.
But why Cfish? Why a C port of Stockfish?

Why not?

Exactly.

There are 2 exes 182k and 645k. Which one is correct?

The 645K one is build with Mingw GCC 6.1, and it will require bitcount instruction for your CPU.

The smaller one is built with Microsoft Visual C++ and it should run on any 64 bit CPU

I guess that the Mingw one will be faster.

Cfish is already faster than SF-dev, with fully equivalent serial search.

Hmm...will give it a shot.

Hello Dann,

both CFish versions crash immediately on Windows 7-SP1 x64 on WinBoard-GUI 4.8.0 and Arena 3.5.1 Interface just after a few moves.

What is your email-address? I could send you the Arena-debug-files, of course.

same thing happens with me on windows 10.i am also using arena 3.5.1 .also on a side note i have two paths for syzygy but i can only use one or the other when using cfish.thanks leslie.shamel@sbcglobal.net

I have just fixed a bug which indeed must have caused problems after a few moves and only on Windows.

How to get the latest .exe ?

How to get the latest .exe ?

Here is one:

Ronald does not distribute a windows binary, so here is a CFish that comes with one:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0zfnehxzq7ery ... er.7z?dl=0

There is a Code::Blocks project for building a generic version (it is nice because you can visually debug very easily) and there is a version I built with his makefile.

In order to use his makefile, I had to change the exe symbol name from cfish to cfish.exe

Hi Dann, I tried to follow this advice and got stuck at the message

-------------- Build: Release in cfish (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler (x64 v.6.2.0))---------------

Checking if target is up-to-date: mingw32-make.exe -q -f "D:\Users\Dmitri\Documents\CodeBlocks Projects\Cfish\Cfish-master\src\Makefile" build ARCH=x86-64-bmi2 COMP=mingw
Running command: mingw32-make.exe -f "D:\Users\Dmitri\Documents\CodeBlocks Projects\Cfish\Cfish-master\src\Makefile" build ARCH=x86-64-bmi2 COMP=mingw
mingw32-make.exe ARCH=x86-64-bmi2 COMP=mingw config-sanity
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** No rule to make target 'config-sanity'. Stop.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [build] Error 2

The rule for config-sanity is present in the makefile,

config-sanity:
@echo ""
@echo "Config:"
@echo "debug: '$(debug)'"

and so on.
If I turn off config-sanity and try to proceed to all, I get "No rule to make target 'all'", even though here it is,

all: $(EXE) .depend

How can I overcome this problem?

¿Como hago para utilizarlo en linux, con scid? gracias How do I use on linux, with scid? Thank you
