--------------------------------------------
|
|
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT BEFORE DOING ANY ACTUAL CHANGES!!

|
SUPPORTED MSVC COMPILERS
|
|
------------------------
|
|
OpenTTD includes projects for MSVC 2005.NET and MSVC 2008.NET. Both will
|
|
compile out of the box, providing you have the required libraries/headers;
|
|
which ones, see below. There is no support for VS6 or MSVC 2002, or
|
|
MSVC 2003.NET. You are therefore strongly encouraged to either upgrade to
|
|
MSVC 2008 Express (free) or use GCC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) REQUIRED FILES
|
|
-----------------
|
|
You might already have some of the files already installed, so check before
|
|
downloading; mostly because the DirectX SDK and Platform SDK are about
|
|
500MB each.
|
|
Download the following files:
|
|
|
|
* openttd-useful.zip (http://binaries.openttd.org/extra/openttd-useful/)
|
|
* DirectX 8.1 SDK (http://neuron.tuke.sk/~mizanin/eng/Dx81sdk-include-lib.rar) (or alternatively the latest DirectX SDK from Microsoft)
|
|
* MS Windows Platform SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en)
|
|
* afxres.h (http://www-d0.fnal.gov/d0dist/dist/packages/d0ve/devel/windows/AFXRES.H)
|
|
|
|
...and of course the newest source from svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk
|
|
|
|
You need an SVN-client to download the source from subversion:
|
|
|
|
* CLI Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/)
|
|
* GUI TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) INCLUDES AND LIBRARIES
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
Put the newly downloaded files in the VC lib\ and include\ directories; where
|
|
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC" is your location of Visual C.
|
|
If you are compiling for an x64 system, use the include\ and lib\ directories
|
|
from the win64/ folder.
|
|
|
|
* openttd-useful.zip\include\*
|
|
* afxresh.h
|
|
to > C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Include
|
|
|
|
* openttd-useful.zip\lib\*
|
|
to > C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Lib
|
|
|
|
Custom directories might be recommended, check 2.2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.1) INCLUDES AND LIBRARIES - DIRECTX/PLATFORM SDK
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
Basically the same procedure as with the useful zip file, providing
|
|
you are not using the Microsoft installer. Put the include files in the
|
|
include\ directory and the library files to the Lib\ directory.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to use custom directories so you don't overwrite any
|
|
default header or library files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.2) CUSTOM DIRECTORIES
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
If you have put the above include and/or library files into custom folders,
|
|
MSVC will not find them by default. You need to add these paths to VC through:
|
|
|
|
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Directories > show directories for
|
|
|
|
* Include files: Add the DirectX/Platform SDK include dir you've created
|
|
* Library files: Add the path to the SDK custom lib dir
|
|
|
|
NOTE: make sure that the directory for the DirectX SDK is the first one in the
|
|
list, above all others, otherwise compilation will most likely fail!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) TTD GRAPHICS FILES
|
|
---------------------
|
|
See section 4.1 of README.md for the required 3rdparty files and how to install them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) COMPILING
|
|
------------
|
|
Open trunk/openttd_vs[89]0.sln
|
|
Set the build mode to 'Release' in
|
|
Build > Configuration manager > Active solution configuration > select "Release"
|
|
Compile...
|
|
|
|
If everything works well the binary should be in trunk/objs/Win[32|64]/Release/openttd.exe
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) EDITING, CHANGING SOURCE CODE
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Set the build mode (back to) 'Debug'
|
|
Change the startup project to openttd by right-clicking the 'openttd' project
|
|
in the Solution Explorer and selecting 'Set as Startup Project'. The 'openttd'
|
|
project should now show up bold instead of 'strgen'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6) PROBLEMS?
|
|
------------
|
|
If compilation fails, double-check that you are using the latest SVN (!)
|
|
source. If it still doesn't work, check in on IRC (irc://irc.oftc.net/openttd),
|
|
to ask about reasons; or just wait. The problem will most likely solve itself
|
|
within a few days as the problem is noticed and fixed.
