Compiling OpenTTD using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

     4

---Step 1

     6

Download the following files:

     8

    * Useful.zip (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103924&package_id=114307&release_id=228633)

     9

    * SDL-1.2.8-VC6.zip (http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.8-VC6.zip)

    10

    * DirectX7.0 SDK (http://www.tt-forums.net/download.php?id=15989) (or alternatively the latest DirectX SDK from Microsoft)

    11

    * afxres.h (http://www-d0.fnal.gov/d0dist/dist/packages/d0ve/devel/windows/AFXRES.H) 

    13

...and of course the newest source from svn://svn.openttd.com/trunk

    14

    15

(The alpha version of the new map array can be found at svn://svn.openttd.com/branch/map)

    16

    17

You have to have and SVN-client to download the source:

    18

    19

    * Command line version (http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91)

    20

    * TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/download.html) 

    23

---Step 2

    25

Put the newly downloaded files in the VC lib and include directories (Where C:\program files\ is your local location of VC)

    28

    * zconf.h [useful.zip]

    29

    * zlib.h [useful.zip]

    30

    * png.h [useful.zip]

    31

    * pngconf.h [useful.zip]

    32

    * afxres.h 

    33

    34

in

    35

    36

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include

    37

    38

and

    39

    40

    * zlibstat.lib [useful.zip]

    41

    * SDL.lib [SDL.zip]

    42

    * libpng.lib [useful.zip] 

    43

    44

in

    45

    46

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib

    47

    48

    49

---Step 3: DirectX SDK

    50

    51

(This should work with the latest DirectX SDK as well.) The installation with DirectX 7 was odd, so you'd better use the version available via the forum, see also the download link on top.

    52

    53

There are 2 folder in the compressed file: Include and Lib

    54

    55

Copy all files from Include folder to

    56

    57

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include

    58

    59

and all files from Lib folder to

    60

    61

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib

    62

    63

    64

    65

You can also make custom directories, for libraries (.lib) and includes/header files (.h) and add it to the VC paths via:

    66

    67

Tools -> Options -> Directories -> show directories for:

    68

    69

a) include files (the include dir: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\include )

    70

    71

b) library files (the lib dir, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\lib )

    72

    73

    74

---Step 4

    75

    76

Copy the following files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe to the data folder

    77

    78

    * sample.cat

    79

    * trg1r.grf

    80

    * trgcr.grf

    81

    * trghr.grf

    82

    * trgir.grf

    83

    * trgtr.grf 

    84

    85

    86

---Step 5

    87

    88

Open trunk/ttd.dsw

    89

    90

Build menu > Set active configuration > Select: "ttd - Win32 Release with PNG"

    91

    92

Compile...

    93

    97

From r1319 you can compile branch/map in Debug mode (by Bociusz)

    99

If it's not working, and you checked that you using the newest SVN (!) report to Bociusz on IRC (irc://irc.freenode.net/#openttd)

   101

Go ahead and make that patch! Happy Hacking! :)
