I've got a problem with compiling SF for Windows.

Here's what I did:
Downloaded tdm-gcc-4.8.1-3.exe from https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/. (MinGW-get doesn't work due to some sourceforge problems).
Installed the x64 version.

Now I create a make.bat file in the SF directory with a single line in it: "mingw32-make profile-build ARCH=x86-64-modern COMP=mingw".
If I run it the following output is displayed:

The sources in the \stockfish-3-win\src directory are those of some recent SF version (several days old).
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

uname and test are missing. You can download these from here (dependencies too). Personally, I would rather use MSYS (msys.bat to start the shell and mount mingw with "mount c:/mingw /mingw" or set up the path in /etc/fstab).

No msys.bat
Is there an all in one gcc installer for Windows, which produces a ready to use installation?

Installed this. Nothing changed, same output. How do I tell gcc where to find uname.exe?

[andreio]

No msys.bat

What do you mean? Here is the latest MSYS at MinGW-builds. Unzip somewhere, msys.bat is in msys directory.

[ThinkingALot]

What do you mean?

I see now. Used an exe installer first.
OK, unpacked to C:\msys. Do I need to download MinGW from somewhere (having TDM-GCC-64 installed)?

Yes, almost, at least for me.
http://nuwen.net/mingw.html http://nuwen.net/files/mingw/mingw-11.2-without-git.exe
You will need msys http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS you can find it in another regular mingw installation package
Here is batch:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;%PATH%

Other way is http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ ... -setup.exe

[ThinkingALot]

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;%PATH%

How do I execute this?

Other way is http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ ... -setup.exe

Doesn't work: can't connect to prdownloads.sourceforge.net/smth.

Typing in msys.bat I get this:

Code: Select all

Administrator@Sandy ~
$ echo off
off

Administrator@Sandy ~
$ set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;%PATH%
sh: C:MinGWmsys1.0bin: command not found
sh: fg: %PATH%: no such job

Administrator@Sandy ~
$

"mount c:/mingw /mingw" worked.
Yeah Compilation works also! andreio, ChessDrone, thank you very much!
