Gnu Chess - Page 3

henkvdg · 11-24-2006, 01:01 PM

Thanks !!!, I can quit the program easier now.
But indeed the menus turned completely white now.

And the pieces should jump, not slide. I get a lot of shadows.

And if I remember well, earlier they jumped.

Probable something changed in the display update.

I'd love to get some of the simple IPC stuff working so I could respond to the Iliad's buttons, but the documentation in the SDK is really sparse and the only example I have is IPDF written in C++.

BTW, I have uploaded all my working sources to my FTP area on MobileRead. I will try to keep this current - feel free to browse.

Just a quick report.

Upgraded to 2.8 this morning and Gnu Chess does not run anymore.

Just a screen refresh, nothing else...

Scotty's x48 still runs...

iRex has rebuilt all their liber's and bumped a couple revisions. Design256 may need to re-compile.

I just got my shell script access today on 2.8.

When trying to run this, it complains that it can't find libXpm.so.4. Does anyone have this file compiled for the iLiad?

Edit: Nevermind, I was able to find a copy of libXpm.so.4.11.0 in Antartica's toolchain. The only problem is that I can't get any of the menu's to appear correctly, so I'm not able to close out of it.

Not a bad idea to run "./xboard -size Big -fcp ./gnuchessx" in mrxvt.

error message looks like this.

Code:

./xboard: error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or dictionary

To all: copy the file libXpm.so.4 from zip-file to the lib directionary of gnuchess; then gnuchess will start again.

This is not working on 2.8. Yes, adding one old library file doesn't replace re-compiling.

[EDIT:] I uploaded in #49 the files you need for 2.9.x or 2.10.

Thank you! The program is back working!

I forgot my iLiad at home today (Doh!). Does the file menu work, so that you can cleanly exit the program?

Yes, the menus don't appear correctly.
Please use the Q-button to quit Gnu Chess as mentioned earlier in this thread.

I tried Q for quit. Did not work.

I tried the menu. Did work.

I actually completely missed that post with version 4....I was still using version 3.

I'll give it a try when I get home. Thanks for the help.

mmh, curious; on my iLiad 2.8 with Gnu Chess 0.4 one click with sytlus on Q next to << < P < >> in top right of screen quits program instantly.

henkvdg · 03-05-2007, 03:07 PM

Sorry to say, but GNU chess stopped again working with 2.9, as well as TED. The terminal program still runs.

yokos · 03-06-2007, 10:45 AM

Same as dillo starting problem. Gnu Chess can't find "libXp.so.6".
This file should be included in 2.8 os in the wiki.

[EDIT:] iLiad's os 2.9 likes Gnu Chess again.

Please copy the file "libXp.so.6" in the attached zip file to the subdirectory "lib" in your Gnu Chess directory.
[EDITII:]gnu chess screenshot with 2.9 icons in toolbar.
