OpenChess

Hi all Ive reached the point in writing my chess program that its time to connect to winboard. Im getting an error of the sort "second chess program (myprogram) exited unexpectedly". I dont know how to have winboard save the errors; has anyone out there written an engine and faced this same error? any quick trouble shooting tips, perhaps its something simple (although I appear to flush the output often enough which I read is sometimes a quick fix.) Thanks

I figured out my own problem, for those having the same issue; you can't compile your code with cygwin gcc and run with winboard even if the program has access to the cygwin.dll; you can however compile with gcc-3 -mno-cygwin in cygwin and run your program with winboard. Im also finding that compiling this way slows down the program and ill probably have to find a good 64 bit c compiler for windows.
