Hi Gang,

Would someone be kind enough to point out what I might not have in place here on my 5.28 Pup. Working with the 0.96v found here, I've got my devx and src files loaded, my qt4-qmake and qt4-dev-tools installed and I've exported my qtdir [export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt] with a soft link from /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs to my export dir. This last bit a guess because I was encountering the following output:

It needs to be compled against Qt3, not Qt4. If you want it already compiled it's available either here, or else here.

Thanks. The part that's confusing is not knowing where to get the correct qt3 packages I need for a successful compile. The ones in PPM don't, as far as I can tell, look appropriate. Aside from this and two pkg dependencies I was missing, I found there's not much light at the end of the tunnel for my Intel 82845G under the available Xorg_High drivers. Now your pkg opens fine without this driver- but without any graphics.. understandable. With the driver installed, X crashes out with a longstanding Intel/Xorg incompatibility.. a rather unharmonious marriage. I know, I'm blessed.

@Semme,

I'd recommend trying a few other GLX-based apps, before trying to compile Mahjongg-3D, as I suspect the problem is your graphics chipset isn't supported, rather than anything wrong with the .pet you tried. Maybe try a simple, small, app like SoundRecEd.

If you did want to try compiling it, it would probably be easiest if you downloaded, & extracted, a complete Qt3 package. This slackware package, here looks good. It probably just needs QTDIR & QMAKESPEC set to the right locations.
