--00000000000014168a05f5c89bfc Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I replied here before reading the thread in https://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=80829&sid=e69a2860788f0963c60097ec4e9b1f88&start=160. Did you get past all the problems and compile successfully? I wasn't quite sure from the thread there. It may make more sense for me to reply there than here...
