8 Reporting problems

Report bugs and problems with XBoard to <bug-xboard@gnu.org>.

Please use the script program to start a typescript, run XBoard with the ‘-debug’ option, and include the typescript output in your message. Also tell us what kind of machine and what operating system version you are using. The command ‘uname -a’ will often tell you this. Here is a sample of approximately what you should type:

     script
     uname -a
     ./configure
     make
     ./xboard -debug
     exit
     mail bug-xboard@gnu.org

The WinBoard / XBoard 4.3 line is being developed by H.G. Muller independently of the GNU Savannah xboard project. Bug reports on this version, and suggestions for improvements and additions, are best posted in the WinBoard forum, WinBoard-development section (http://www.open-aurec.com/wbforum).

If you improve XBoard, please send a message about your changes, and we will get in touch with you about merging them in to the main line of development. Also see our Web site at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard/.
