Scid problem with PGN files


jose-chess & FreeBSD - 2006/12/22 14:17 Hail all. I'm trying to compile and/or run jose-chess under the FreeBSD
5.1 operating system. So far I could compile the beast without flaws using FreeBSD's native JDK-1.4.2; the problem is, when I try to run jose under this same JDK, all I see is a blank window; no menus, no bitmaps, nothing. Is there something missing from the source distribution shown in sourceforge.net? Perhaps the default lang.properties, eco.keys and other necessary files available only in the binary distribution.

I could not run the linux-intel version; the install program finishes saying my platform is not supported, and so even using the Linux Sun
JDK-1.4.2; for this reason, I could not pick the missing files from the binary distribution in order to complete my own build. I think these are the only things that are missing for a fully running jose-chess under
FreeBSD.

I compiled jose-chess omitting the following files & packages:

de.jose.FlyBy de.jose.Servlet de.jose.web.* de.jose.devtools.* de.jose.window.OnlineReport de.jose.db.JDataStoreAdapter de.jose.task.db.CreatePositionIndex3

And picked the following files at various random sites on the Internet to help compile jose:

jh.jar mysql.jar metouia.jar j3dcore.jar j3dutils.jar j3daudio.jar vecmath.jar skinlf.jar

As you see, I quite did my job; I really want the missing files (the
Portuguese translation needs an update ).

Thank you.

re:jose-chess & FreeBSD - 2006/12/22 14:36 The precompiled jose-1.2.2, the .tgz that comes with a JRE, ran very smoothly under FreeBSD 5.1, with Sun JDK natively compiled for that platform, at least as well as the Linux installer version under Linux.

Steps:
tar -zxf jose-122-linux-intel-jre.tar.gz cd jose java -jar jose.jar

Portuguese translation update soon to come!.

re:jose-chess & FreeBSD - 2006/12/22 15:41 Mac OS X users have reported similar errors. Do you find any information in "error.log", or "stderr.log" ?

It looks like some basic drawing problem within the JRE.
I am currently testing jose on Windows and Linux and have not yet seen such problems.

If the installer doesn't work, please try this package: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jose-chess/jose-122-linux-intel-jre.tar.gz?download

it's a gzipped file w/out an installer. It contains a JRE (for Linux, however).

...

Great job
But I don't think it solves you problem
You might, however, use a debugger to track down the problem.

I will send you the translation diffs (i.e. only those entries that have changed)...
