ABOUT QUARRY
Quarry is a universal board game interface program. At present it supports three games: Go, Amazons and Reversi. It is intended to be useful for both users and developers of game engines (i.e. programs that play board games).
At present, Quarry is slowly approaching first stable release. It's uses are currently limited to playing against a computer program (e.g. GNU Go) and browsing and editing SGF game records.
Latest Quarry versions can be found at the homepage:
INSTALLATION
The usual `./configure; make; make install' should build and install Quarry. The only serious requirement for Quarry are GTK+ 2.x and librsvg 2.5+ libraries, everything else must be present on a sane system. See file INSTALL for details.
RUNNING QUARRY
Please refer to the Quarry Manual for help. If, for some reason, you cannot open the manual from Quarry Help menu, direct your browser to the file `help/C/quarry.html'. (There may also be translations of the manual to your language in directories other than `C'.)
REPORTING BUGS
Please use bug tracker at the Gna! project page for bug submissions. Point your browser to
https://gna.org/bugs/?group=quarry
Before submitting a bug, please update to latest CVS version of Quarry and verify that the bug is still present. Don't forget to check if the bug has been submitted already.
Please include the following information in your bug report:
- Bug description and the way to reproduce the bug.
- Output of Quarry in the terminal, if any. It would typically die with a message like this:
quarry: file-name.c:123: some_function_name: Assertion `...'
failed.
- If you fail to configure or build Quarry in the first place, please send in several last lines of `configure's and/or `make's output, depending on where the problem occurred.
- System information, including version of GTK+. You can find it by typing
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
in command line. Remember that only GTK+ 2.0 or later is supported. If you have an older version, Quarry will fail to configure and it is not a bug.
- Everything else you find relevant.

I'm very interested in a good texture that is either cleanly licensed in a non-restrictive way that allows redistribution and modification or is in public domain. If you happen to have/know about such a texture that would fit Quarry's look, please send it or a link to it to <quarry-dev@gna.org>.
