Database: Run create_database.sql in your mysql database and you are up and running!
(or read tt-sql.txt for more)

Make sure to enter your database and pass in ttchess_mysql.java!

HOW TO MAKE TTCHESS WORK UNDER LINUX
A goal is to use only 100% Free Software, but for now we use the
original Java SDK from SUN.

1. Install Java:
   a. download j2sdk-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin and run it in
      a directory of your choise

         cd /usr/bin
         ./j2sdk-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin

   b. make symbolic links for java and javac;

         cd /usr/bin
         ln -s /usr/bin/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/java . 
         ln -s /usr/bin/j2sdk1.4.1_02/bin/javac .

2. Install RXTX
   a. download rxtx-2.1-6.tar.gz

   b. install it!

         tar -xzvf rxtx-2.1-6.tar.gz
         cd rxtx-2.1-6
         ./configure
         make install

3. Modify the source if needed:
   in ttchess_serialport.java use gnu.io instead of javax.comm

         //import javax.comm.*;
         import gnu.io.*;


4. Install java-mysql connector (copy it to wherever you have java extensions)

         cp mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar /usr/bin/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/lib/ext/

4. Compile
         javac *.java -d class

5. Run with comport device as argument
         java ttchess /dev/ttyS0
