Latest release r1531 has been built with no debugging so it is relatively small & nimble. But you will get no debugging information if it breaks. It is quite stable though (but still beta), check upstream for known bugs & problems Two chess engines have been included though quite old versions (2018 or earlier)

  • Sjeng v11.3
  • Stockfish v6

Import of data files is supported from

  • PGN text files
  • Scid si3 & sc4 files
  • Chessbase
  • plus others

Scidb also supports ChessQL (CQL++) searching plus Chess960 and other game rules

Could not replicate your problem Removed the clean statement anyway; must have been an artifact of testing

Running make manually works but makepkg fails with below. Edit: removing the line 105 from the PKGBUILD fixes the issue with makepkg, why are we even running a make clean before make install instead of after?!

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'app/libapp.a', needed by 'cbh2si4'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This package and upstream repo do not currently build on Arch. I will try and construct a new version that will work

I get the following error in the pacakage() part of the build: ==> Starting package()... Install man pages install: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/man/man1/scidb-beta.1.gz': Permission denied make[1]: *** [Makefile:31: install] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:77: install-subdirs] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

The svn fetches version 985 which declares itself as 1.0-Beta. Got this error: ./configure not found The make clean is not a problem, but you should change: prepare() { cp -r $srcdir/$_realpkgname $srcdir/$_realpkgname-build } to: prepare() { cp -r $srcdir/$_realpkgname/* $srcdir/$_realpkgname-build }

Got this error: ==> Starting build()... Makefile:13: Makefile.in: No such file or directory ****** Please use the 'configure' script before building Scidb ****** Makefile:73: recipe for target 'Makefile.in' failed make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... Removed "make clean" from build(), compiles fine afterwards.

I know, for more information please look here: https://sourceforge.net/p/scidb/bugs/55/ I am not completely sure, how to handle the mime-stuff.
