Amongst my computers I still have a few old ones that run WinXP 32bit.
I tried to compile a 32bit windows executable from the source code myself, but was unsuccessful.
A 32 bit compile for older cpu would be very welcome.

I have some problems with my old laptop. It is geting fixed, and it's possible that in the evening I will have access to good old MSVC 2010, which I used for Windows XP-capable compiles.

It works ok on my old Pentium4 computer in linux using wine, but crashes immediately on another computer running Windows XP with an AMD Sempron 2400+ cpu.
I have a couple of other engines that do the same.
Its usually due to the sse2 instruction set not being supported.
Thanks anyway.

Sorry I got a period inside the link. Try this:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj851139.aspx

Btw if using the command line or a Makefile you need to add

/D_USING_V110_SDK71_

to the compiler flags and

/subsystem:console,5.02 (use 5.01 for 32-bit)

to the linker flags, to target Windows XP.

I verified it and is not using popcnt instruction. I don't know what's going on.
