If not, >are there any other ways to try compiling it in gcc? No. Someone sent me email telling me that they were doing this, but I don't know if they necessarily got it working. There are two targets, gerbil.exe and epd2wb.exe. epd2wb.exe is build from epd2wb.c and answer.c, with just a normal console program compile. gerbil.exe is built from everything in the winboard subdirectory and everything in the engine subdirectory, same thing. There could be a small problem with __int64, which I use, and which could be replaced by "long long" under Gnu. Gnu might also get mad about my "//" style comments. It is a Windows app, so it uses NT threads, but that has little to do with how you'd build it. If someone wants to make a version that works under Linux or something, you'd have my full support in a moral sense, meaning that I wouldn't tell you to go away if you asked me questions, and I'd include the version in the Gerbil release. bruce
