The first official binary version of Lucas Chess on Linux has just been released. It has only been made possible by the great work done by Laudecir Daniel , choosing and compiling the 67 engines, as well as laying the groundwork so that the binaries can be more widely used and others such as shortcut creation, installation scripts, ...... In addition, Graham O'Neill has provided Linux-specific drivers for several digital boards. This version has two limitations : 64-bit Linux OS only. Minimum GNU libc version: 2.26 (ldd --version shows it) Installation has been made as simple as possible: The installer is a .sh file, generated with the makeself tool, and can be downloaded from: SourceForge , GitHub The file must be run from a terminal with user permissions only: sh ./LucasChessR123_LINUX.sh Launches a GUI with very basic options: Install: Installs in LucasChessR folder inside the home user folder. Generates a shortcut in Applications > Games Launch the application at the end
Thanks! Import GM works fine!
ReplyDeleteWonderful program!
ReplyDeleteBut did you notice that it consumes a lot of CPU time when being idle on the main screen? For example:
- start LucasChess
- select Training/Your daily test
- do the test
- return to main screen
- then CPU: 25% - while doing next to nothing
It is a bug and I have fixed now. I´ll try to publish an update this week.
DeleteThank you very much.
Wow, very fast.
DeleteThank you for this marvellous piece of software!
At the External Engine Edition - Command Mode (file name plus arguments) you are not supposed to check if the executable is the UCI standard compatible. The Putty PLINK.EXE is not chess engine at all.
