Cute Chess 0.9.0 (GUI) released

Post by ilari »

Hi,

I'm exited to announce the 0.9.0 (1.0 pre-release) of Cute Chess: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... /gui-0.9.0

At the moment we provide 64-bit Windows and Linux packages that contain both the GUI and cutechess-cli which many of you are already familiar with. There may still be some bugs lurking so it would be great if you would be willing to test the new GUI and report any problems at Github, or here if you don't want to create a Github account.

After installation and attempting to run.

I tried both the Windows 64-bit and cutechess_setup.exe

My OS is windows 7.

You missed a "c".

Looks nice and it's really small, if only I had a use for a GUI :D
The command line version fills all my tournament needs.

Looking to install the Qt 5.3 needed, but only the minimum
The Qt installer is claiming something like 13GB needed, which seems excessive.

Perhaps you know what the minimum file set would be simply to run the gui and point to them...

Thank you very much for all of the Cutechess work and sharing.

Looks like qwindows.dll is needed. I've updated the installer - now it installs qwindows.dll as well. Can you try again: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/ ... _setup.exe

There's no need to install Qt - the installer includes (or will include if there are missing dependencies) all required Qt libraries.

Same missing dll

And full Qt 5.3 did install (or seemed to after massive download).

There seem to be several missing dependencies, but I just found the very helpful "windeployqt" tool which bundles the dependencies for me. I'll update the Windows installer tomorrow morning.
