Compiling and developing OpenTTD on MandrakeLinux 10.0 Official A quick guide to get started with OpenTTD development on Linux. --------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) RPMs: Most packages that are required for development (like gcc) should already be installed on your box. You will require those RPMs additionally: - libsdl1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk - subversion-1.0.1-1mdk (+ dependencies) - libsvn_ra_svn1_0-1.0.1-1mdk 2.) Subversion: To obtain the source code from the subversion server type $ svn co svn://svn.openttd.com/openttd/trunk openttd from command line to dump the code into the directory 'openttd'. To update your working copy to the latest revision use $ svn update Don't worry, your version will be merged with the latest version. The command $ svn diff > mypatch.diff creates a patch file (aka diff file) which you can submit to the developers to share your improvements. You can undo changes to a file with $svn revert filename 3.) Required data files: Copy the following files from the WINDOWS version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe to openttd/data/ sample.cat trg1r.grf trgcr.grf trghr.grf trgir.grf trgtr.grf 4.) Compiling and running: Compile OpenTTD with $ make and run it with $ ./ttd 5.) Playing the soundtrack: If you want the original TTD music you need to copy the whole /gm/ directory from Windows. Additionally the TiMidity driver is required: TiMidity++-2.12.0-0.pre1.4mdk (+ dependencies) To run OpenTTD with music support type $ ./ttd -m extmidi X.)
