[ My apologies if this is the wrong news group. Is there a
comp.sources.games.d? ]
I have installed Gnuchess on a Pyramid 90x running OSx (or whatever they
call their 4.2/SysV dual-port) in the ucb universe. It compiled without
a hitch, and works perfectly. But the Pyramid's not my home machine!
I want to bring up Gnuchess on a 3B5 running System V r. 2.0. I had to
change some code that did getrusage() calls, but that was about it, and it
compiled. However, it dumps core like crazy! It'll give me its sign-on
message ("Chess"), and wait for my command, but no matter what my command, I
get a segment violation or memory fault. E.g., if my first command is "bd"
to display the board, it dumps core on an array access (pctype, I think), but
if I do the access by hand in sdb, all is well. Then if my first command is
"test-moves" it blows up in a printf (a printf with no percent escapes, just
a simple string literal!).
My question: has anyone got gnuchess up under system V? Thanks in advance!
