Stockfish 2.0 GTB
Re: Stockfish 2.0 GTB
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).

Re: Stockfish 2.0 GTB
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.64x wrote:Thank you very much for this.

And, sadly, the project is no longer active.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.

Re: Stockfish 2.0 GTB
The pthread issue seems resolved though there are a couple other issues...anyways, VS2008, but recently switched to VS2010. Also looking to test SUA.64x wrote:Out of curiosity, do you compile with VC++? If so which version?Only issue is getting pthread working for x64...

Re: Stockfish 2.0 GTB
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!?"Also looking to test SUA.

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