But running script gives me this error message from shell:
Code: Select all
sh: /data/user/0/os.tools.scriptmanager/files/./cutechess-cli: inaccessible or not found
127|:/storage/emulated/0 $
Are you sure I don't need root for this?

No, you don't need to save anything, just copy-paste, and permissions.

I'll explain to you tomorrow, from the beginning. Btw, on my tablet only one cutechess working (for android 9 and up), all the rest can't start.

I tried this one, but no luck.
I copied 2 Cfish engines and above cutechess to /data/user/0/os.tools.scriptmanager/files/, then I long-pressed each one and set 755 permissions in checkboxes (rwe, re, re),
I triple checked the script, still the same error message as before

Seems like /data partition is not accessible for executables without root permissions, bench works ok

Are we still talking about SManager? It doesn't need chmod 755 command..

Not the command.
When I long-press the copied files I have a pop-up menu. Then I choose "Properties" where I can set permissions for each one of the files.
You were talking about permissions so I thought you're talking about this ones.
"Storage" permission was set at first start of SManager already.

Once again from the beginning. Install SManager and, if doesn't ask you by it self, give to the the app permission to have access to your default storage - manually. Go to settings->SManager->Permissions=On. Since we have identical directory to the SManager's storage, which is /data/user/0/os.tools.scriptmanager/files/ just follow my steps.
1) Open SManager - press on small house (above on the screen) ->DATA home->files.
2) Look pictures ->

► Show Spoiler

3) Don't forget that, to start a tournament, you will need a folder in device's memory with name "Book" and pgn book inside.
4) Also, you'll need a txt document with commands (names of the engines, time control etc) - see this post http://outskirts.altervista.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2239&view=single_post#p2239
I've described every detail so too much text may terrify you lol

, but believe me, it is not so hard as it seems.

You did everything right so far, so what you are doing next?

I created a home directory sdcard/appHOME and changed to this path in terminal emu home dir settings. ls command lists all the files there (2 engines and cutechess-cli), but shell command can't access these files (says there's no such files or access denied). I even stupidly tried chmodding them with 755 or +x but it didn't work.
Any thoughts?
PS. Shell command file is ok, engines names and other options are correct, I use Hagtorp's method

I run this script from Android Terminal: sh nameofscriptfile

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cd
cp /sdcard/uci/{cutechess-cli,CF-170920alto.so,CF-170920lto.so} $HOME
chmod +x cutechess-cli CF-170920alto.so CF-170920lto.so

Engines and cutechess are in a folder called "uci" in my phone memory (/storage/emulated/0/uci). My script is directly in the phone memory (/storage/emulated/0/). I think I use the very first cutechess for Android posted by hagtorp. I use "Terminal Emulator for Android", now with Android 10. TEfA had stopped working when i upgraded to A10, but a subsequent update of Terminal Emulator fixed the problem. Before, it worked fine with A9.

This commands are for testing with classical evaluation, right? I see that option.Use\ NNUE=Hybrid is missing.

Ok guys, thanks for all help.

Now after months of trying I can finally run cutechess tests again!

I did a small mistake in SManager Home path in script but it still didn't run with cutechess 6-9 version, I wanted to surrender. But I switched back to cutechess 5.13 and it ran FINALLY!

Thanks again (especially for Skynet - this guy will always help you, even to fly to the Moon

), but also Moisanov - I will try your method with Terminal Emu, cheers

With my Teclast i was also ready to give up, it could not run cutechess, so i tried all the versions, only one worked.

Hybrid is the default when nothing is specified. You really need Use NNue = Classical to have the classical eval enabled.
