Re: Fedora 38 problem

It is up to the distro maintainers to decide which packages they offer in their repositories. The XBoard developers play o role in this.

But programs that are not in a repository can usually be installed from source. The uci2wb and polyglot in the hgm.nubati.net source repository do contain a Makefile, so I would expect the command

sudo make install

to work for those. These would install the binaries in /usr/local/bin; I don't know if that would be a problem on Fedora (as I never used that).

I am trying to set up a new machine to test Duck Chess, using HGM's latest versions of  xboard and uci2wb. My typical starting point is to install both xboard and uci2wb from a repository.

 

It appears fedora does things differently than the other linux distros. I was able to install both xboard and stockfish, but I can't run stockfish. The problem is that I can't locate a repository for uci2wb. I tried to install polyglot, but column't locate that either.

 

I have spent many hours Googling for answers, but 'm not sure how to proceed.
