Likewise i'm getting the same error in build: configure:4149: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_NLS If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Thank you, d_fajardo. I've included the patch.

d_fajardo commented on 2021-02-02 08:56 (UTC)

There has been a discussion here in the Arch forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263151 We have traced the origin of the segmentation fault and there's a working patch. You might want to update the package with this patch.

hosiet commented on 2018-11-04 17:58 (UTC)

Okay it is also crashing for me... It looks weird. Will dig into it later.

mrxx commented on 2018-11-04 17:36 (UTC)

Thanks hosiet, I've updated the source to your repository and now it compiles again.

Unfortunately, starting gmchess seems to segfault (at least on my machine). Any ideas?

hosiet commented on 2018-11-04 16:12 (UTC)

Just FYI, I made some improvements to the source code and the project is available here:

https://salsa.debian.org/chinese-team/gmchess

Although gmchess is no longer maintained in Debian, I think this repo will be kept and available for you to use.

japernilater commented on 2018-03-02 18:32 (UTC)

I apologize to all who have wanted this package updated. Due to life circumstances I no longer have the time or desire to keep this package maintained. Hosiet your orphan request was justified. Thank you all
