that's all
this will test 1*2^3+1 then 4*5^6+1 and 7*8^9+1 (edit totest.txt to match your needs)

can a moderator move this technical discussion out of this thread and create a new one just for phrot ?

Wouldn't it be better to use rogue's modified version of phrot, which can remember where it left off in the middle of a file?

Hmm...somebody needs to write up a little wrapper program so that phrot can communicate using the LLRnet protocol! The protocol itself is actually quite simple, but I know very little about network programming. Maybe someone who knows a little bit more about that stuff could put something together?

The best way might be simply to replace the code in the LLRnet client that does the actual work, with code that instead drives the phrot program. Since phrot can be fed a number from the command line, that should be possible.

It should be -mtune=nocona, not -mtune-nocona. Sorry about that.

Hmm...after trying that, I get a different error:

gcc -O3 -mtune=nocona -msse2 -msse2 -m64 -O3 -o math52.c2d.o -c math52.c
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:354,

make: *** [math52.c2d.o] Error 1

Am I missing some package that I should have?

Would it just be easier for someone else who has a Linux machine more tailored to development than mine to compile it?

Thanks to the explanation of Tnerual I have phrot working. Happy me!
It sure is quicker than LLR, so I am ready to switch. But I run LLR on 10 machines and I can't babysit these machines every time they are started up.

In that case, you'll definitely want rogue's modified phrot, since the "stock" version would need you to mess with the input file each time it starts up. Rogue, do you by any chance have a Windows precompiled version?

Which linux OS is this? I found this which might be helpful.

I tried installing the package "libc6-dev" (I'm using Ubuntu, which is based on Debian) but it's already at the latest version. The article you linked to suggested the "libc6-dev-amd64" package, but I'm using 32-bit Ubuntu. But, shouldn't the 32-bit package, which I already have installed, contain the necessary files?

You can try to remove the -m64 from all Makefiles since you have a 32-bit OS.

Okay, thanks, that worked! I was able to compile the "libs" folder's contents OK. Then when I move over to the phrot folder, and run the "make" command, I get a load of errors, so many that it overflows the scroll buffer.

Thanks to a quick Google search, I figured out how to redirect all output (i.e. both stdout and stderr) to a file, so I was able to capture all the "make" command output to a file. When I looked at the file's contents, though, I found the source of all the errors: I had forgotten to change one of the references to point to my copy of the glucas source! So, it was still pointing to wherever it would have been if it was on Rogue's machine.

So, now I'm going to go fix the reference in whatever makefile it's in, and try again...
