Use git grep -n "text to be searched for", the result was already pointed out by Disservin:

~/Stockfish$ git grep -n "the Stockfish developers"
src/misc.cpp:183:     << "the Stockfish developers (see AUTHORS file)";

Here is "Stockfish" and his version number.

when it says "the Stockfish developers (see AUTHORS file)" is it what it prints out of the cmd prompt when opening up the exe file?

like with the stockfish 16

You can trigger the Continuous Integration (GitHub Actions) to check your changes: simply push the branch with your changes on the github_ci branch as well:

git switch master
git fetch -p upstream
git switch -c my_sf_version
# makes you changes and push to your repository
git push origin HEAD
# push on the branch github_ci as well to trigger the Continuous Integration
git push -f origin HEAD:github_ci

You should have already read them by yourself. It seems that you don't want support to solve an issue but simply to waste the time of the people that try to help you.
Sorry but I and the other maintainers are moving some repositories under the Organization, so I need to stay focused to avoid errors.

close the shell when requested
open a MinGW x64 shell, double clicking on C:\msys64\mingw64.exe

Sometimes, when pasting more than one command in a shell, the last command is not executed and need an extra push on the "Enter" key.

#

You need to enter in your secret folder, the tilde ~ means that you are still in your HOME folder.

cd your_secret_folder/src

Yes, the compiler enabled the instructions for your very advanced CPU.
Now you can run:

#

#

===========================
Total time (ms) : 6025
Nodes searched : 2593605
Nodes/second : 430473

#

i also found something weird

#

and i think bad

#

i open up the winrar file that was build

That is the last developer build downloaded from https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/releases

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

is it good?

faint shard Aug 21, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

The last developer build is the stronger version. It's the same version that you built yourself from the source code.

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

ah ok

faint shard Aug 21, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

Ok, I think to have finished my duty here, enjoy your night.

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:04 PM

Use your custom build, it's the file C:\msys64\home\kadeu\stockfish\src\stockfish.exe

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:09 PM

😭

faint shard Aug 21, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

Open the file C:\msys64\home\kadeu\stockfish\src\misc.cpp with a text editor, change the function, redo all the command

cd ~/stockfish/src
make clean
make -j profile-build ARCH=x86-64-avx512 COMP=mingw
make strip

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:14 PM

faint shard Open the file `C:\msys64\home\kadeu\stockfish\src\misc.cpp` with a text editor, ...

so redo all the code where you delete lines of code then adding code

#

string engine_info(bool to_uci) {
stringstream ss;
ss << "Something Else";
return ss.str();
}

faint shard Open the file `C:\msys64\home\kadeu\stockfish\src\misc.cpp` with a text editor, ...

And you ran all of this after changing that in the file?

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

grim plume And you ran all of this after changing that in the file?

he saying to build stockfish and then change it

grim plume Aug 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

The change needs to be saved before the make commands are run

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

thats weird

#

he never told me to do that

grim plume Aug 21, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

grim plume Aug 21, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

Actually, what is that filepath? Check C:\msys64\home\kadeu\stockfish\src\stockfish.exe

faint shard Aug 21, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

That is the official dev Stockfish binary downloaded with the donwloader script to view his CPU ARCH.

wooden stag Aug 21, 2023, 9:13 PM
