Product Description:

xMahjongg Select is GUI for the xMahjongg tile matching game. xMahjongg runs under the X11 windowing system and its setup is controlled by command line options. xMahjongg Select will handle all the setup for you and start a new game using your chosen options.

NOTE, xMahjongg Select does not include the game xMahjongg; it is simply a graphical front end to simplify launching xMahjongg with your chosen options. If you have not already downloaded xMahjongg (& XFree86), you will need to do so before using xMahjongg Select. If you have Fink installed then you can use it to install xMahjongg.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed issue with 'Location' preference not being saved and reloaded
  • Changed default location to /sw/bin/xmahjongg (seems to be most common setting, non-fink users will need to change it)
  • Menus for layouts, backgrounds and tile sets will update after changing Location preference

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
    xMahjongg
    X11 or XDarwin (& XFree86)

xMahjongg Select Troubleshooting Reportpath is not hardcoded - Version: 1.0.1, 7/21/2003 08:32AM PST

The path is not really hardcoded; it just defaults to /sw/bin/xmahjongg since most users seem to be using Fink. You can change it in Prefs to whatever is right for your system. And if you have PATH setup properly, then just enter "xmahjongg" and it will be found. Note that the PATH setup in shell rc files (eg .bashrc) doesn't apply to GUI apps; you need to setup the .MacOSX/environment.plist instead. (See http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html for more details on setting environment variables for GUI processes.)

xMahjongg Select Troubleshooting Reporthardcoded path /sw/bin/xmahjongg is ok, but... - Version: 1.0.1, 7/21/2003 07:57AM PST

Why not use /usr/bin/env xmahjongg? Not everyone uses sw. Some prefer /usr, others prefers /usr/local, some use /opt, and Fink enforces /sw (which causes problems with 3rd party apps -- like Virex -- that dork with the contents of lib directories). And, just fyi, my .bashrc file has always exported a correct PATH and MANPATH, so...........

Anyway, this seems to work ok now.

The problem with the path not being remembered has been reported by others. It is not a problem for all users as prefs are being read. I will release a new version as soon as I can find and fix the problem. [This was also posted as a developer note which doesn't seem to be appearing.]
