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
check for update does not work in Linux/Wine (currently installed version is 10.04)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteFixed in my tests, it is a general error, not only to wine.
Αnalysis in version 10.06 portable in Linux Mint / Wine does not work.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a chmod -R 777 * of this folder can solve the problem.
DeletePlease, because I am inexperienced in Linux, can you write, what to write commands in the terminal and instructions?
DeleteThanks
You must open a terminal window in the lucas chess folder, then (if you are sure you are in lucas chess folder (pwd)):
Deletechmod -R 777 *
What happened to 10.05?
ReplyDeleteI put the links to this release to test in immortal chess forum, and the links appeared in a web.
DeleteAs test failed, and 10.05 was published, then 10.06.
I would like to say that this blog really convinced me to do it! Thanks, very good post. http://www.win-at-chess.com
