xfreecell FAQ

  1. Q: I can't compile. I have error msg complaining about bastring and so on.
    A: Use g++ 2.8.1 or higher.

  2. Q: It's slow.
    A: Start xfreecell with option '-r'. This disables rounded corner cards. '-a' may work if you still have a problem in speed.

  3. Q: There is no border in subwindows such as score window.
    A: I can't figure out what causes this bug.

  4. Q: Do I need to download MSNumbers.gz?
    A: No, you don't. You can play without it. But if you play the same game as MS freecell, you need it.

  5. Q: I want auto-solver.
    A: There is freecell solver by Dr.Tom. I incorporated it once, but found it consumes too much resource and removed. If I have time, I'll investigate more suitable search.

  6. Q: This homepage is ugly
    A: It's light and simple. I hate too big images, Java, JavaScript and so on.

  7. Q: I have a suggestion (or patch or something else) to xfreecell.
    A: Feel free to contact me.

  8. Q: I'm usign Redhat6.0 and tried to compile xfreecell. I had an error message about errno. What should I do? A: Add #include to the files that use errno. (Thanks to Peter Gillis)
