SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

GTK+ 2 and GNOME 2
A fairly recent C++ compiler and its corresponding standard C++ library
Pthreads library (on Linux, this is already included with glibc)

INSTALLATION

Use the usual "./configure" and "make" commands. Then, "make install" with the required priviledge to install to the target directory. There are two executable files built. The GNOME GUI is called "grhino". In addition, the GTP front-end, useful as an engine to other program called "gtp-rhino" is also available. You can use GTP front-end such as Quarry to make two different GRhino play each other. You can use the configure options "--disable-gnome" and "--disable-gtp" to disabling building either executable.

The rest of binaries (gen_pattern, gen_book, etc.) may be built with "make all". They can be ignored and are not installed into target directories. They are used by program author to generate data for AI.

grhino DOCUMENTATION

For documentation on how to use GRhino, refer to the online help found in the game.

gtp-rhino DOCUMENTATION

For gtp-rhino, use "gtp-rhino --help" to list all options.

Implemented GTP commands:

        protocol_version, name, version, known_command, list_commands, 
        quit, boardsize, clear_board, komi, play, genmove, undo, 
        final_score, showboard, reg_genmove

Unimplemented GTP commands:

        time_settings, time_left        (only allow Quarry to run without
                                         crashing,  no AI time limit is
                                         enforced yet)

GTP Extension:

        set_game, list_games            (Quarry use)
        grhino-auto_play                (For testing)
