First, you have to create a fruit.ini file in the directory where you extracted
polyglot. (There are some generic example .ini files in polyglot packages). Here
is what my fruit.ini looks like. (Make sure to adjust the path to EngineDir and
NalimovPath and change EngineCommand according to you installation.


[PolyGlot]

EngineName = Fruit
EngineDir = /home/andreas/Chess/engines/fruit/
EngineCommand = fruit

Book = true
BookFile = fruit.bin

Log = false
LogFile = fruit.log

[Engine]

Hash = 128

NalimovPath = /opt/TB/
NalimovCache = 4

If you have a pgn database you can create a book file with polyglot, or just
copy over the book from fruit.

Then, when starting xboard, specify the path to polyglot directory and call
polyglot with the .ini file your going to use as argument.

xboard -fd /path_to/polyglot/ -fcp 'polyglot fruit.ini'
