QUICK Guide: Compile Crafty 19.7 Chess Engine with gcc under Windows

( BIG Guide - HTML ) ( QUICK Guide in - TXT ) ( BIG Guide in - TXT )

Preparation steps:

(1) Goto www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html and

- Download devcpp4980.exe from

http://www.c-view.org/soft/devcpp/downloads/devcpp4980.exe or

http://mapage.noos.fr/dev5/devcpp4980.exe or

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dev-cpp/devcpp4980.exe.

- Download latest update (currently [13.12.2003] ver 4.9.8.5) from

http://bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp4985.zip

[this is a DELTA to above install, so you need both!]

- Install Dev-C++ to

C:\Dev-Cpp\

Note: This installation process consists of 2 steps:

- First install devcpp4980.exe as usual.

- Then copy the contents of devcpp4985.zip to the

corresponding installation target directory and

sub-directories.

(This means some older files are overwritten)

(2) Download Crafty 19.7 from

ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/v19/crafty-19.7.zip

(3) Extract the contents of crafty-19.7.zip to a working directory,

for example to

C:\c-files\crafty\

(3-b) Copy the contents of *this* zip file, i.e. the files

- Makefile

- Makefile_tiny

- Makefile_org_crafty_1907_modified

- Makefile_org_crafty_1907

- X86.s

- X86_(original).s

- Compile_Crafty_with_Dev-Cpp.bat

- How_to_compile_crafty_19.7_under_Dev-Cpp.txt

- How_to_compile_crafty_19.7_under_Dev-Cpp.html

- Make_a_crafty1907.exe-very_quickly.txt

- Make_a_crafty1907.exe-very_quickly.html

to the same directory, e.g. to "C:\c-files\crafty\".

This will overwrite the original file "Makefile" that was

contained in crafty-19.7.zip. This is intended!

(Note that the file "Makefile_org_crafty_1907" is an

identical copy of this original makefile.)

Compilation:

In your Crafty source code directory, simply double-click

"Compile_Crafty_with_Dev-Cpp.bat".

--> This will compile and link the crafty source code and

create an executable "crafty.exe".

    FINISHED!

Note: If Dev-C++ was installed to another directory than C:\Dev-Cpp\,
      then the "Compile_Crafty_with_Dev-Cpp.bat" must me modified
      accordingly.

Note: You should get 1 warning and 0 errors.
