Stockfish 2.0 GTB

[Peter C]

Yes, I'll be doing a Stockfish 2.0.1 GTB today or tomorrow. If I'm feeling lucky I might implement tbhits as well.

Also I'll either fix or remove the ProbeOnlyAtRoot problem (currently it doesn't work).

Thank you very much for this. Had been looking for a portable 64bit C/C++ environment for a long while. Is this project still active?

I'm glad you like it. I believe that this is the best gcc-based package out there that runs on Windows and produces Win32 or Win64 binaries. All libraries are, by default, statically linked so there's never a missing dll to worry about and, unlike Cygwin, there's no runtime dll required. It's not really portable because it *must* be located in C:\msys because the paths are hardwired.

And, sadly, the project is no longer active. The WPG64 creator, xenofears, seems to have lost interest. I am not a Linux guy so doing the rebuilding for updated versions of all the various packages is beyond my ability. But I suspect that a knowledgeable Linux guy could update his own WPG64 environment without any troubles.

For me, I simply run the shortcuts in C:\msys to run CodeBlocks or CodeLite IDEs, both of which are pre-configured to create Win64 binaries.

Only issue is getting pthread working for x64...

Out of curiosity, do you compile with VC++? If so which version?

The pthread issue seems resolved though there are a couple other issues...anyways, VS2008, but recently switched to VS2010. Also looking to test SUA.

Also looking to test SUA.

You have to love Microsoft. Back to Cygwin and MinGW as Win7 Pro cant run SUA -- Ultimate or Enterprise is needed. Would it even be worth spending time trying to make it "compatible!?"

When I need to produce linux binaries I just run a VM with an up to date live distro...
