     3

A quick guide to get started with OpenTTD development on Linux.

     4

---------------------------------------------------------------

     5

     6

1.) RPMs:

     7

     8

Most packages that are required for development (like gcc) should already be installed on your box. You will require those RPMs additionally:

     9

- libsdl1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk

    10

- subversion-1.0.1-1mdk (+ dependencies)

    11

- libsvn_ra_svn1_0-1.0.1-1mdk

    12

    13

    14

2.) Subversion:

    15

    16

To obtain the source code from the subversion server type

    17

  $ svn co svn://svn.openttd.com/openttd/trunk openttd

    18

from command line to dump the code into the directory 'openttd'.

    19

    20

To update your working copy to the latest revision use

    21

  $ svn update

    22

Don't worry, your version will be merged with the latest version.

    23

    24

The command

    25

  $ svn diff > mypatch.diff

    26

creates a patch file (aka diff file) which you can submit to the developers to share your improvements.

    27

    28

You can undo changes to a file with

    29

  $svn revert filename

    30

    31

    32

3.) Required data files:

    33

    34

Copy the following files from the WINDOWS version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe to openttd/data/

    35

  sample.cat

    36

  trg1r.grf

    37

  trgcr.grf

    38

  trghr.grf

    39

  trgir.grf

    40

  trgtr.grf

    41

    42

    43

4.) Compiling and running:

    44

    45

Compile OpenTTD with

    46

  $ make

    47

and run it with

    48

  $ ./ttd

    49

    50

    51

5.) Playing the soundtrack:

    52

    53

If you want the original TTD music you need to copy the whole /gm/ directory from Windows. Additionally the TiMidity driver is required:

    54

  TiMidity++-2.12.0-0.pre1.4mdk (+ dependencies)

    55

To run OpenTTD with music support type

    56

  $ ./ttd -m extmidi

    57

    58
