Trying to compile stockfish 15 on mac and build for smaller file size

[adams161]

I wanted to try to compile stockfish 15 from source for Mac because i heard it could be compiled for UCI only at a smaller file size without that learning stuff. I'm having two issues. I"ve not much experience compiling c or c++ from make files or things normally made for linux.

I chmodded the make file executable but when i run it on Mac i get

./Makefile: line 23: shell: command not found
./Makefile: line 23: KERNEL: command not found
./Makefile: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `$(KERNEL),Linux'
./Makefile: line 24: `ifeq ($(KERNEL),Linux)'

I also dont know what to set to get that smaller file size not 47 megs that has only classical uci stockfish.

Any assistance appreciated.

Terminal + HomeBrew

brew unlink stockfish

brew install stockfish --HEAD
(with --HEAD = newest development version)


Terminal + Github Stockfish Source Code

https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish

cd /Users/me/Stockfish-master/src

make clean

make -j profile-build COMP=clang ARCH=apple-silicon

./stockfish compiler


Starting position:
(brew install stockfish --HEAD = 4 Mn/s)
(make build = 5 Mn/s)
(make -j profile-build ARCH=apple-silicon = 9 Mn/s)
(make profile-build COMP=clang ARCH=apple-silicon = 9 Mn/s)
(make -j profile-build COMP=clang ARCH=apple-silicon = 9.3 Mn/s)

I chmodded the make file executable

As a general note: makefiles are not shell scripts and not meant to be executed directly. They are rather description files that the program make will evaluate as detailed in Magnum's post.

Thanks. I'll fool around with this. Be interesting to see how to build a small file size version. Stockfish 8 was like 800 kilobytes. Stockfish 15 is like 47 Meg. I want to redistribute what I build with another app of mine and it would add 30 megs to installer to take default stockfish 15.
