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 Transport Tycoon Deluxe to openttd/data/
sample.cat
trg1r.grf
trgcr.grf
trghr.grf
trgir.grf
trgtr.grf
(Alternatively you can use the TTD GRF files from the DOS version: TRG1.GRF, TRGC.GRF, TRGH.GRF, TRGI.GRF, TRGT.GRF. A few minor graphical glitches with the DOS graphics remain. E.g. the autorail button in the rail toolbar doesn't look as nice as with the Windows graphics.)
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
