As we spoke in private the tutorial and related posts were moved to this new topic.
The goal was not to let the topic get "buried" under future compilations.
I hope I didn't miss any related post

No I think we're OK - and a good idea !!

This is my first attempt to compile Cfish. I am working on Windows 10. I want to run a "make pgo" or “make help” in MSYS2/MINGW64 but following error comes up: “bash: make: command not found”. From where to get it and where to install?
Thanks in advance

Save Cfish-master in this folder
C:\msys64\home\Hazsan88(your pc name)
----
open MSYS2 terminal
type>>> LS
Enter>>>>
If 'Cfish-master' is visible
type>>> cd Cfish-master/src
Enter>>>>
type>>> make help
Enter>>>>
This one will be visible

$ make help

To compile Cfish, type:

make target [ARCH=arch] [COMP=compiler] [COMPCC=cc]

Supported targets:

help > Display architecture details
build > Standard build
net > Download the default nnue net
profile-build (or pgo) > PGO build
strip > Strip executable
install > Install executable
clean > Clean up

Supported archs:

auto > Auto-detect optimal architecture (default)
x86-64-avx512-vnni > x86 64-bit with 512-bit AVX512/VNNI support
x86-64-avx512 > x86 64-bit with 512-bit AVX512 support
x86-64-vnni > x86 64-bit with 256-bit AVX2/VNNI support
x86-64-bmi2 > x86 64-bit with AVX2 and BMI2 support
x86-64-avx2 > x86 64-bit with 256-bit AVX2 support
x86-64-avx > x86 64-bit with AVX support (VEX encoding)
x86-64-sse41-popcnt > x86 64-bit with SSE4.1 and popcount support
x86-64-modern > common modern CPU, currently x86-64-sse41-popcnt
x86-64-ssse3 > x86 64-bit with SSSE3 support
x86-64-sse3-popcnt > x86 64-bit with SSE3 and popcount support
x86-64 > x86 64-bit generic (with SSE2 support)
x86-32-avx512-vnni |
x86-32-... | same as for x86-64
x86-32-sse3-popcnt |
x86-32-sse2 > x86 32-bit with SSE2 support
x86-32-mmx-sse > x86 32-bit with MMX and SSE support
x86-32-mmx > x86 32-bit with MMX support
x86-32 > x86 32-bit generic
ppc-64 > PPC 64-bit
ppc-32 > PPC 32-bit
armv8 > ARMv8 64-bit with popcnt and neon
armv7-neon > ARMv7 32-bit with popcnt and neon
armv7 > ARMv7 32-bit
apple-silicon > Apple silicon ARM64
general-64 > unspecified 64-bit
general-32 > unspecified 32-bit

When using many threads, 256-bit AVX2 may perform better than 512-bit AVX512.

Supported compilers:

gcc > Gnu compiler (default)
mingw > Gnu compiler with MinGW under Windows
clang > LLVM Clang compiler
icc > Intel compiler

Advanced examples:
make profile-build ARCH=x86-64-bmi2 COMP=gcc COMPCC=gcc-9.0
make build ARCH=x86-64-ssse3 COMP=clang

For best performance, try one or both of:
make pgo
make pgo COMP=clang

Try this


Go to ezwinports, https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/

Download make-4.2.1-without-guile-w32-bin.zip (get the version without guile)

Extract zip
Copy the contents to C:\ProgramFiles\Git\mingw64\ merging the folders, but do NOT overwrite/replace any exisiting files.

You're using Powershell right and your $PATH setup is OK ?

then type >> pacman -Syu

follow directions - should be OK now so unzip Cfish on desktop , cd into it and type -- make pgo

Thank you very much. There was no "make.exe" file, now everything works.
One more question, Why my Cfish is 535KB while the others are around 200KB. Does it matter ?

Nope I dont think so (was the binary stripped ?) - just make sure the nnue file is in the same folder as the binary - make a habit of always dumping the nnue in the folder - saves a lot of hassle later - and not just for Cfish.

Glad it works !

About the stripping, try this:

Code: Select all

strip cfish.exe

It will reduce the size by roughly half.

224 kB. Thanks
