Subject: Introduction and scid list questions
=========================================================
Hello. My name is Wes Jennings and this is my first post to scid-users. I have
been using and older version of scid for about 2 years and bemoaning that it
was not being developed anymore. When I checked into the scid sourceeforge site
I was pleased to see that scid development was a going concern again. Good job!
I signed up for the scid-users list and reviewed some of the emails. Most all
were development oriented. There is certainly nothing wrong with development
related email. But I'm just a basic scid user striving to find out new and
better ways to use scid and organize and improve by chess. So I have 2
questions.
1. Are basic scid users welcome to submit to this list?
2. Let me disgress here first. I am running Linux and have maybe intermediate
level skills with this OS. I did not run into any problems compiling scid and
getting things setup properly. However, I wanted to upgrade the chess engine to
crafty. Crafty has been a bear for me to compile in the past. I was able to
compile Crafty-19.20 once with a help file someone prepared. But I can't locate
that file either on my computer or the Inet. I now have the latest version of
crafty, but can't get the &*(_*_)*^ thing to compile. There is no configure
file in the crafty sources. It doesn't seem to have any autoconf input files
either: *.ac or *.in, etc. So my 2nd question is a yelp for help.
HOW DOES ONE GET THE CRAFTY SOURCES TO COMPILE?
Oh, by the way, I've considered that this is off topic for the scid-users list.
I have tried to sign-up for to crafty list, and my request to join seemed to
take. But things seem like a dead fish on the other end: no email is coming
through. Any help would be certainly welcomed.
Wes Jennings
