Hi,
I lost my previous chess port when I destroyed my old DR development virtual machine.
Anyway, I started again and see the same issues I mentioned in the other thread.
backend:
- gnuchess v5.0.7 ported ok, v6.0 crashes
frontend:
- xboard: needs old X libraries (Xaw, Xpm, Xmu) which I've been able to port after some work, but it also needs old X font rendering subsystem. Thus, it's not a viable option
- eboard, gnome-chess, ...: complex frontends with many dependencies
Anyway I've found a small front end called linechec (
http://linechec.sourceforge.net/) that I've been able to compile easily, with only a few modifications.
It's in French and the UI is not good for the DR screen, it would need some work to adapt.
I think the best option should be to develop a new tiny front-end to gnuchess, specific for DR devices.
