I don't use you OS, I've only compiled it for Dos with djgpp, quite a
while ago so I don't remember if there was any tricks at all, but I know
I didn't have to work very hard to make it compile.  I no longer have
the code for GNU5 sitting around.

One of the things that I noticed with some programs like Faile is that
it will have several versions of makefile, and you need to pick the
correct one and rename it to "makefile" (in my case), and then the whole
thing goes right together.  But I don't honestly remember if GNUchess5
is like that or not, but it sort of looks like that might be your
problem if it's looking for an exe file that you don't have or is in a
different place.  I'm rather sure that it's a makefile problem, but I
can't pu my finger on how to fix it.

Good luck

Peat
