Re: newbie question

[Antonio Ceballos]

Hi Mike,

I assume you downloaded the last version of GNU Chess from an FTP mirror, i.e. 6.0.0. In that case, the instructions in the INSTALL should work (and also for the previous versions 5.x), namely:

./configure

make

cd src

./gnuchess

 

Aha! While I am typing this, I am realizing that the binary is in the 'src' directory, not in the root directory. Did you check that?

You can also install the binary by typing:

make install

or:

sudo make install

After that the binary will be copied to somewhere in the default path, so that you can run it by simply typing:

gnuchess

Let us know if this works for you. 

Cheers,

Antonio

Hi GNU,

 

Thank you very much for all the work you do. :)

 

Sorry to ask a silly question, but how is the program started after make?

I did ./configure, then make.  I see Makefile was generated.

i tried make again, but i thought an executeable would have been generated?

 

Thanks,

Mike
