1XMAHJONGG 3.7 2============= 3 4MAKING XMAHJONGG 5---------------- 6 You need an ANSI C++ compiler, such as g++, but not C++ libraries. 7 8 Just type `./configure', then `make'. `make install' will build and 9install xmahjongg, its shared data, and its manual page. `./configure' 10accepts the usual options. See `INSTALL' for more details. 11 12 (More details: Give `configure' a `--prefix' option to install xmahjongg 13somewhere other than `/usr/local'. You can also give `configure' the 14`--bindir', `--mandir', and `--datadir' options for more more precise 15control. N.B.: `make install' will place all the shared data files in a 16subdirectory named `$(datadir)/xmahjongg'.) 17 18 If you want to test xmahjongg after compiling it, you'll run into 19trouble since the shared data have not been installed yet. To fix this, 20supply the `-B' option: 21 22 % make 23 % ./xmahjongg -B ./share --tileset small 24 25ABOUT XMAHJONGG 26--------------- 27 Xmahjongg is a simple solitaire game.
