Development Snippets

qGo was the predecessor of gGo. Its developer, Peter Strempel, migrated it to Java and renamed it gGo. Later, others took up the development of qGo and made it a [ext] sourceforge project, once again based on C++ and the Qt toolkit.

It has been comprehensively enhanced by the developers recently (early 2006)

The latest stable version (1.5.4) appears to be from March 2008.

qGo2, Compile, Install

qGo2 is a promising opensource client, supporting multiple servers such as IGS, WING, LGS, CyberORO, Tygem, eWeiqi and Tom. It's written with Qt4 and works under Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Project steel in developing, crashing and seems is dead since november 2010, what a pity!

To install qGo2 you must compile it from source code, or try to install my (who is "my"?) package [ext] .deb with qt4-base for ubuntu

Compiling requires to setup some *-dev packages

  $ sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libasound2-dev

Download source code from [ext] web archive or from SVN

  $ svn co [ext] https://qgo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qgo qgo2

Open folder /qgo2/trunk

  $ cd qgo2/trunk

Create Makefile and execute it

  $ qmake
  $ make

If compilation success my congratulation! Enjoy to play qGo2 =)

  $ ./bin/qgo

And now you can create .deb package for qGo2 and install it into your system

  $ sudo checkinstall

(I have strange error when checkinstalling and forced to copy file /usr/bin/lrelease to /bin/lrelease before)

Finally clean temporary file and remove required *-dev packages

  $ make clean
  $ sudo apt-get remove qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libasound2-dev

q4Go

q4Go is a (mostly) straight port by crux of the old qGo to Qt4, intended for those who prefer the old user interface. It is unrelated to the qGo2 effort. It is available in source form [ext] as a git repository.

Remarks

  • [1] Authors: 0.x + 1.x: Emmanuel Béranger, Johannes Mesa, Peter Strempel; 2.x: E. Beranger, Peter Van Bohning
  • [2] (1.5.4 in Ubuntu) auto-replay speed: for what 1/10th second, cannot be set accurately: "7.5" (assuming seconds) were actually around 5 seconds, "10" were 1/10 second (bug).
  • [3] qGo (1.5.4 in Ubuntu) pretends to be able to open xml game-files, but a test with the [ext] example file from red-bean.com was no success. --RueLue
