Crafty is the most obvious example, but probably a bit too big and complicated to study. >Another question is if a program that is compiled under linux can work under >interfaces like winboard that are based on windows. Why not just use xboard in Linux? It behaves almost exactly like Winboard. >I guess that there should be no problem and as far as I know tord writes gothmog >under linux and it runs under winboard. Not quite. I do the development under Mac OS X, which for most practical purposes is quite similar to Linux. But as has been pointed out elsewhere, my engine is not a good example. The Windows executable of Gothmog is not a "real" Windows program. It is compiled using the Cygwin toolkit, which adds Unix-like compatibility to Windows. By using the Cygwin tools, I can use exactly the same source code in Windows and Linux, without a single #if defined ... The Mac OS code is very slightly different, because of endianness problems. >When I think about it maybe I need some #if #def to make it work. Probably, but I don't think you would have to change very much. The main differences will be input polling and getting the system time. Tord
