This is useful for engines that run with an adapter like Polyglot, when you have only one polyglot on your system, used by many engines. For Internet Chess Servers and Human users the logos should be in the "logos" sub-folder of the folder where WinBoard is installed.
There is a special ICS input box that has history support which is the standard in Winboard and can be used in XBoard too. Another good tip from Michel van der Bergh is to use the rlwarp program together with XBoard which gives you full readline support.
Just run rlwrap xboard instead of just xboard. The rlwarp program should be available for most linux distributions or can be downloaded at utopia.
These are the header files for the Athena Widgets library, which XBoard uses heavily. Some versions of Unix don't supply these files, but they are part of the standard X distribution, freely available from MIT.
For general information on getting missing X sources, see the FAQ on comp. Note that you may be missing only the header files, or you may be missing the libraries themselves too. HP-UX users are missing only the header files. You can get them by anonymous FTP as follows. But first check with your system administrator to see if someone else at your site has already done this. Install files. Thanks to Richard Lloyd for this information.
If you have the Xaw header files installed in a different place than the other X11 headers, you may need to configure XBoard with an extra flag to help it find them. Perhaps you have the X server and client programs installed on your machine, but not the X header files and link-time libraries.
If so, you can run existing X programs, but you cannot compile a new X program from source code. In this case the XBoard configure script will fail and will tell you to look at this question in the FAQ. If you are using RedHat, install the XFreedevel package. If you are using some other kind of Unix, ask your system administrator where to find the X header files and link-time libraries. If this is not your problem, read on. The configure script for XBoard looks for X libraries and header files in some common places.
Sometimes it fails: If yours are installed in an odd place, it may not find them at all. If you have more than one version of X installed on your system, it may find the "wrong" one, or occasionally it may find libraries from one version and incompatible header files from another.
You can work around these problems by telling the configure script where the files are. For example:. The directory named in the argument to --x-includes must have a subdirectory "X11" that contains the actual. That is, if your X. Some linkers have bugs that cause bogus error messages when you try to link X programs.
The configure script includes a workaround for a bug of this kind that exists in some SunOS 4. See the FAQ on comp. If all else fails, check whether anyone else at your site has been able to compile any X programs on your system.
Your X installation might be buggy. If so, the system administrator at your site might know how to fix or work around the problem. This is not how it works. WinBoard wants to talk directly with your modem, acting as a terminal program itself.
Start out with the modem "on hook" not making a call. After you start WinBoard, you may need to change some of the options in the Communications dialog on the Options menu. The dialog has the usual options for talking to modems: bits per second, bits per byte, parity, number of stop bits.
You will probably want to use Save Settings Now when you're done. Next, type dialing commands to your modem in the text window that WinBoard creates. You may need to turn off Local Line Editing on the Options menu while you are typing commands to your modem. Turn it back on when you're done. See the WinBoard Help file for instructions if you see your typing echoed an extra time after you hit Enter.
You get a strange looking error message if you try to use a bit application because there is no standard Winsock error code number for " bit application not supported. Trumpet Winsock 2. But there is a beta-test release available that does support bit applications. I have not tried it with WinBoard, but it should work. The bit versions of America On-Line's software do not support bit Winsock applications. Get the bit version. Hopefully the current versions are all bit.
I'm not sure if such bugs exist in any versions that actually have bit support, so this point might be moot. Review what you did, and see the WinBoard help file. XBoard and WinBoard have three major modes that can't be changed from the menus: local chess engine mode, ICS mode, and standalone mode.
With XBoard, you have to set the mode using command-line options. Local chess engine mode is the default, -ics selects ICS mode, and -ncp "no chess program" selects standalone mode. With WinBoard, if you don't set the mode using command-line options, you get a dialog box asking which mode you want.
To bypass the dialog box, use -cp "chess program" for local chess engine mode, or -ics or -ncp as with XBoard. Also see topic [C.
Be sure you have the current versions of WinBoard and the chess engine you are using. WinBoard 3. A buggy chess engine that does not respond to the quit command will also cause this. If you are playing with the ICS incremental clock, both you and your opponent get a set amount of extra time after each move.
If your or your opponent has netlag, your opponent might appear to get extra time, especially if your opponent is using timestamp or timeseal. The ICS charges each player who is using timestamp or timeseal only for the time between when the player received his opponent's move and the time he sent his own move. Thus delays in network transmission do not count against either player. But WinBoard counts down the display of your opponent's clock on your screen under the assumption that there is no netlag.
When his move comes in, if there was netlag, the ICS may not have really charged him for that much time, and WinBoard corrects the clock to what the ICS says it should read. If you are not using timestamp or timeseal, you may appear to lose time off your clock at some point after you make your move. In this case, the ICS charges you for the time between when it sent you your opponent's move and the time it received your move. Thus delays in network transmission count against you.
WinBoard stops counting down the display of your clock on your screen and starts your opponent's when you make your move. When the ICS echoes your move back to you, it may have charged you for more time than that, and WinBoard corrects the clocks to what the ICS says they should read. See help lag and help timestamp or help timeseal on your ICS for more detailed information.
Most people don't have this problem, but two or three people using Windows NT 4. I have no idea what causes this problem. Contrary to what was reported in a previous version of this FAQ, reinstalling the service pack after installing WinBoard does not seem to solve the problem.
The file parser. The copy included with XBoard 4. If you have this problem, you can fix it by deleting parser. This will work if you have either lex or flex on your system. The Makefile included with the WinBoard source kit has a rule for generating parser. However, the source kit also includes a ready-made copy of parser. Check that you still have a copy of parser. Either set the last-modified time of parser. If you do want to change parser. You can probably also get flex for Windows by itself from various other places around the Internet.
It is free software distributed by the Free Software Foundation, www. After connecting to a chess server, XBoard 4. It seems that several of the alternative X terminal programs have a bug that makes them hang when sent this escape sequence.
You can work around the problem by using xterm, nxterm, rxvt, aterm, xiterm, or gnome-terminal, all of which seem to work fine. In fact, current versions of kterm and konsole seem to work fine too, so if you are having problems with one of them, be sure you are not running an outdated version. Alternatively, you can disable this feature by commenting out the body of DisplayIcsInteractionTitle in xboard.
This can happen if you have a bug in your Windows display driver. Check with the manufacturer of your display card, the manufacturer of your computer, or Microsoft to see if there is an updated driver available. You can usually download updated drivers from the web.
It's also possible that Windows has the right driver for your hardware already but you are not using it. It may help to reinstall your driver. If all else fails, try Monochrome mode. WinBoard will display in black and white. This message means that your chess engine crashed, probably due to a bug in the engine, or because you have it configured incorrectly. You can try running XBoard or WinBoard again with the -debug flag on the command line. This will print out all the messages received from the chess engine.
With WinBoard, the messages go into a file called WinBoard. If gnuchess. You are running your X server with 8-bit color depth, and you are running some program that has used up all of your colors. Netscape tends to do this, or maybe you have a background image that uses up all of your colors.
If you have a modern machine, you probably have enough display memory to run your X server with , , or bit color depth. If you're using startx to start the X server, try giving the command as startx -- -bpp 24 or 16, or On newer X servers you may have to use -depth instead of -bpp.
