I was sent code for gnuchess, but discovered that because my system
does not have a gnu environment I cannot compile the c-code to run
the thing. I'm looking for UNIX-based chess that will run under
more or less "normal" System V. Does such a beast exist?
If so, and unless there are a bunch of "me-too's" out there, please
send me the sources via private email.
Thanx.
Ken

Anyways, you should be able to compile gnuchess on just about anything (I have on SUNOS and AIX/RT). Just play with the header files and Makefile. It's really quite easy. It will run on just about everything.

I've gotten gnuchess to compile and run on Microport System V/AT, which is certainly normal System V. If anyone needs help with it, send e-mail. -- Seth J.

My system admin. took a look at the c files and realized that what they need is to insert a define <sys/types.h> before the times.h line. I don't know WHY: if I knew that, I'd never have had the problem. In any case, typing "make" did precisely that: quickly and without problems. In fact, it is portable, because--drunk with success--I uuto'd the c files from my Amdahl-based system over to a system running on a VAX, and all I had to do was edit out the Makefile reference to "-ltermlib" because the compiler choked on it. By the way, it's the best way to spend lunch hour I've found yet in this place. -- Ken Wolman AT&T Bell Laboratories, Short Hills, NJ mhuxo!ktw (201) 564-2085 Jake's and Ben's Ol' Dad: Their Fate, My Fortune
