Versions

The current version is 1.2.1. It is based on Qt4 (actually 4.2 or higher). For compatibility reasons I leave version 1.1.2 on the web. Version 1.1.2 is based on Qt3. Version 1.2.1 and 1.1.2 have essentially the same features. The differences are tiny (e.g. 1.2.1. has a new menu item 'Tools' that contains commands that were only availabe via key combinations in 1.1.2)

Solitaire Mahjong was sucessfully tested on MacOS X (10.4.8), Windows XP and Vista, and Linux. Solitaire Mahjong should run everywhere where Qt is available. I haven't tested it but it should run on most Unix flavors. When building from the source make sure that you have the latest Qt installed. The binary versions for MacOS and Windows XP do not require Qt to be installed.

Downloads

MacOS X

Version 1.2.1: Download the installer package contained in a gzipped tar file.
Version 1.1.2: Download the disk image. Unpack (should happen automatically after download) and copy the application SolitaireMahjong.app to your local disk. Have a look at the ReadMe.txt file first.

Windows XP

Version 1.2.1: Download the installer exectuable to your desktop. Launch it and follow the typical Windows installation procedure.
Version 1.1.2: Download the installer to your desktop.

Linux/X11

Since building the executable for Linux/X11 is so easy I didn't provide a binary distribution. Just grab the source distribution and follow the instruction in the ReadMe_Src.txt file.

Source

Please remember that Solitaire Mahjong is under GPL. Feel free to use and improve the code but follow the rules. If you work on a system that is not explicitly mentioned here but has Qt installed you most likely will be able to get it to run. If you do so please email me. I'm very interested in learning about it.
