dominik 52134822b8 (svn r1038) Feature: OpenTTD runs with the grf files of the DOS version
Please read the Readme for further information. There are some minor graphical glitches when you use the DOS files. E.g. the autorail button is a bit screwed up.

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. 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.)
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
