[gnugo-devel] GNU Go 3.3.11 installation report on Mac OS X

[Rodney Topor]

I just downloaded and installed GNU Go 3.3.11 under Mac OS X 10.1.5. 
By following the instructions in the INSTALL file, everything went 
perfectly except for one glitch.  When doing make inside the 
regression directory, the file eval3.sh was requires but was not 
presented.  I created an empty file called eval3.sh and all seemed 
well after that.  (Admittedly I didn't notice the option to include 
for compiling on Mac OS X until after I'd started, but I don't think 
that was relevant to this problem.)

The instructions didn't mention Goban (www.sente.ch/software/goban/) 
nor how to run GNU Go inside it.  But after contacting the Goban 
developer for advice, I was able to do this.  (The trick is adding 
the options "--quiet --mode gtp --gtp-version 1".  In the next 
version of Goban, it will apparently only be necessary to add 
"--quiet --mode gtp".)

Great program!
