sudoku and sudz NOW working on Linux - Thanks to 1to9only

Postby RichardGoodrich » Thu Jul 17, 2025 4:32 pm

Well now I have the gsf code working on MX-23.6_x64 Libretto May 19 2024 THANKS to 1to9only

This is a MUCH better POST than the dumb question I asked about getting it to run under Windows-11:
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/sudz-exe-building-making-work-t45945.html

And I did eventually get those programs running on Windows 11 - after installing gcc compiler, missing run time DLL, etc.

Then looking back at: https://github.com/1to9only/ast-sudoku.2012-08-01?tab=readme-ov-file

It led me back to the gsf = Glenn S. Fowler binaries, which 1to9only directed to this place:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwwKLhARRO-BZmFjU1kzaVVwdzQ?resourcekey=0-tMwHI64ONimVlGDsVFvkdQ

Then the "scales fell from my eyes" and I realized I had not tried the LINUX binaries!

So I down loaded:
  1. sudoku-linux.i386-64
  2. sudz-linux.i386
  3. sudz-linux.pentium4

I renamed sudoku-linux.i381-64 to sudoku. Then I did a:
>chmod +x * where ">" is my command prompt and * is the wildcard for each of the downloaded files

Then I ran them like this:
>./sudoku --help
Got a lot of stuff ending in:
Code: Select all

Ran both of the sudz programs in similar fashion and they both ended with:

JUST thought somebody might want to know! Even if it is only me!
