XMAHJONGG 3.7 ============= MAKING XMAHJONGG ---------------- You need an ANSI C++ compiler, such as g++, but not C++ libraries. Just type `./configure', then `make'. `make install' will build and install xmahjongg, its shared data, and its manual page. `./configure' accepts the usual options. See `INSTALL' for more details. (More details: Give `configure' a `--prefix' option to install xmahjongg somewhere other than `/usr/local'. You can also give `configure' the `--bindir', `--mandir', and `--datadir' options for more more precise control. N.B.: `make install' will place all the shared data files in a subdirectory named `$(datadir)/xmahjongg'.) If you want to test xmahjongg after compiling it, you'll run into trouble since the shared data have not been installed yet. To fix this, supply the `-B' option: % make % ./xmahjongg -B ./share --tileset small ABOUT XMAHJONGG --------------- Xmahjongg is a simple solitaire game. The object is to remove all 144 Mah Jongg tiles from the playing area by matching them two at a time. Xmahjongg 2.0 was released in 1990 by Jeff S. Young <jsy@cray.com>. This version has been completely rewritten by Eddie Kohler <eddietwo@mit.edu>. New features in 3.0: * Pretty, round-edged, and colorful Mah Jongg tiles. * Multiple tile sets. * Undo. * Hints let you quickly locate possible matches. * Solvable boards by default. * A clean button for automatically removing certain kinds of tiles. * Aesthetics. * A count of matches remaining. * No fiddling with the X font path. Features 2.0 has that are not yet available in 3.0: * Tournament mode. * Visible board numbers. * A "Same" button. (You can click Undo a lot to get the same effect.) * Layout configuration mode. Please see the man page, `xmahjongg.6', for information on how to play the game. Xmahjongg comes with NO WARRANTY, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
