LibForchess v0.8.4 (2011/12/29)

SUMMARY LibForchess is an API wrapper around an AI for playing a 4-player variant of chess called "Forchess". More information about the game itself can be found at its official website http://www.intuitor.com/forchess/

REQUIREMENTS LibForchess requires no external dependencies and should build in any *nix-style environment with the typical GNU build tools. For example, on Ubuntu these can be installed with: sudo aptitude install build-essential

In order to run the test suite, Check (the C unit testing framework) needs
to be installed.  For example, on Ubuntu this can be installed with:
    sudo aptitude install check

In order to build the documentation files, Doxygen needs to be installed.
For example, on Ubuntu this can be installed with:
    sudo aptitude install doxygen

INSTALLATION To build the LibForchess AI library run "make libforchess". This will create the archive file "lib/libforchess.a". To test the library run "export OSTYPE" followed by "make check".

USAGE Documentation in manpage format can be made available by running "make docs". The relevant documentation will be built and placed in docs/man. An example program can be found in examples/cli/simple.c which should give a developer an idea of how to build their own Forchess playing program with this API. In order to build the example program run "make examples". The resulting program is built as a.out in the top directory. See "./a.out --help" for instructions.
