truelight@0: Compiling and developing OpenTTD on MandrakeLinux 10.0 Official
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: A quick guide to get started with OpenTTD development on Linux.
truelight@0: ---------------------------------------------------------------
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: 1.) RPMs:
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: Most packages that are required for development (like gcc) should already be installed on your box. You will require those RPMs additionally:
truelight@0: - libsdl1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk
truelight@0: - subversion-1.0.1-1mdk (+ dependencies)
truelight@0: - libsvn_ra_svn1_0-1.0.1-1mdk
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: 2.) Subversion:
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: To obtain the source code from the subversion server type
truelight@0:   $ svn co svn://svn.openttd.com/openttd/trunk openttd
truelight@0: from command line to dump the code into the directory 'openttd'.
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: To update your working copy to the latest revision use
truelight@0:   $ svn update
truelight@0: Don't worry, your version will be merged with the latest version.
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: The command
truelight@0:   $ svn diff > mypatch.diff
truelight@0: creates a patch file (aka diff file) which you can submit to the developers to share your improvements.
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: You can undo changes to a file with
truelight@0:   $svn revert filename
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: 3.) Required data files:
truelight@0: 
dominik@614: Copy the following files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe to openttd/data/
truelight@0:   sample.cat
truelight@0:   trg1r.grf
truelight@0:   trgcr.grf
truelight@0:   trghr.grf
truelight@0:   trgir.grf
truelight@0:   trgtr.grf
dominik@614: 
dominik@614: (Alternatively you can use the TTD GRF files from the DOS version: TRG1.GRF, TRGC.GRF, TRGH.GRF, TRGI.GRF, TRGT.GRF. Those filenames have to be uppercase to be detected correctly. 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.)

truelight@0: 4.) Compiling and running:
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: Compile OpenTTD with
truelight@0:   $ make
truelight@0: and run it with
truelight@0:   $ ./ttd
truelight@0: 
truelight@0:      
truelight@0: 5.) Playing the soundtrack:
truelight@0: 
truelight@0: If you want the original TTD music you need to copy the whole /gm/ directory from Windows. Additionally the TiMidity driver is required:
truelight@0:   TiMidity++-2.12.0-0.pre1.4mdk (+ dependencies)
truelight@0: To run OpenTTD with music support type
truelight@0:   $ ./ttd -m extmidi
truelight@0:
