Using
Source code
Source code (current and old versions, and patches where appropriate),
in the form of gzipped tar file, can be found in the Source directory.
Linux binaries
The (no longer provided) mj-linux-i386 binary distribution was compiled under
GNU glibc-2.2.5 (aka libc-6), XFree86-4, GTK+ 2.6. It should
run on practically any Linux i386 system.
The mj-linux-x86_64 binary distribution was compiled under Xubuntu
18.04. It should run on several modern distributions.
The normal Linux binaries are in the Linux directory.
For Debian users: xmj is part of Debian, as a package called
mah-jong.
For Fedora: it's in the package mj.
For FreeBSD, it's games/mahjong.
However, the packages are several versions out of date, so
don't use them.
Windows executables
The obsolete mj-win32-i386-gtk[12] distributions were compiled under Windows
2000, with fairly recent MinGW, and GTK+ for Win32 version 1.3
release of 2004-03-15 for -gtk1, and a recent GTK+2 release for
-gtk2. The -gtk1 binaries should in theory run on
any Win32 system (except old systems lacking MSVCRT.DLL); the
-gtk2 binaries need Windows 2000 or later, because GTK+2 does.
The current mj-win32-i686 (gtk2 only) is cross-compiled
using MinGW32 under Xubuntu 18.04
The binaries are in the Windows directory.
For the current distribution, and some older -gtk2
distributions, the necessary DLLs are included in the zip
file (which is why it's so large).
For the (very obsolete) -gtk1 distribution, you need (if you have not downloaded them
before) the libraries in the gtkdlls1.zip (1.8MB) file
which you will
also find in the Windows directory. The contents of this
file should be unpacked into the folder of the mj program.

my Mah-Jong book collection, buy me a virtual drink, or whatever?
