Therefore, I'd say both assumptions for Unix above imply some "strange" arrangement of files. Additionally, at least for Toga chances are good that it comes from another source than Scid as well, maybe even in another version. Things are difficult here. Does any portable version of "locate toga" exist? Were it not for Toga, I could imagine to put Phalanx-pg to the same dir as Scid and pre-configure only this engine. It is an engine that can come only from Scids distribution and exactly this version has to be used anyway. (Same for Scidlet.) However, for Toga it could come in various versions from whatever source. IMHO the requirement of this engine is the difficult part. However, how dependent is the code on the existence of Toga? Could it be "any other UCI engine"? If so, could one then just check if any UCI engine is configured and if not point the user to do so once Toga is required? I just know that Toga is used as a coach engine, but if this feature does not depend on something only Toga offers, maybe that would be the way to go? Similar for serious game. If an UCI engine is configured, everything is fine, if not point the user to configure one? -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery.
