BTW, it's "xiangqi", not "xianqi"

Sorry, cannot compile any of those .. i had the same problem with another. Now i have found a windows version of it, but it is very slow, the UI is in chinese (and doesn't display in wine), and it crashes when i try to change the players settings ..

There are many versions of Chinese Chess under Windows. One of my friends is really a Xiangqi master, he plays online Xiangqi.

I've searched the web for several times, seems that there's not a good Xiangqi game for linux, really a pity... If you don't mind playing windows games, I could send you the free online Xiangqi game which my friend is playing
