# Compiling OpenTTD using Microsoft Visual C++
|
||||
|
||||
Last updated: 2018-12-27
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported MSVC compilers
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTTD includes projects for Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or more recent.
|
||||
You can download the free Visual Studio Community Edition from Microsoft at
|
||||
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/.
|
||||
|
||||
## Required files
|
||||
|
||||
### Microsoft platform files
|
||||
|
||||
OpenTTD needs the Platform SDK, if it isn't installed already. This can be
|
||||
done during installing Visual Studio, by selecting
|
||||
`Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64` (and possibly
|
||||
`Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64` depending on your version). If not, you
|
||||
can get it at this location:
|
||||
|
||||
- [MS Windows Platform SDK](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en)
|
||||
|
||||
Install the SDK by following the instructions as given.
|
||||
|
||||
### OpenTTD dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies for OpenTTD on Windows are handled via
|
||||
[vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/). First you need to install vcpkg
|
||||
by following the `Quick Start` intructions of their
|
||||
[README](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/README.md).
|
||||
|
||||
After this, you can install the dependencies OpenTTD needs. We advise to use
|
||||
the `static` versions, and OpenTTD currently needs the following dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
- freetype
|
||||
- liblzma
|
||||
- libpng
|
||||
- lzo
|
||||
- zlib
|
||||
|
||||
To install both the x64 (64bit) and x86 (32bit) variants, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
```ps
|
||||
.\vcpkg install freetype:x64-windows-static liblzma:x64-windows-static libpng:x64-windows-static lzo:x64-windows-static zlib:x64-windows-static
|
||||
.\vcpkg install freetype:x86-windows-static liblzma:x86-windows-static libpng:x86-windows-static lzo:x86-windows-static zlib:x86-windows-static
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## TTD Graphics files
|
||||
|
||||
See section 4.1 of README.md for the required 3rdparty files and how to install them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compiling
|
||||
|
||||
Open the appropriate `sln` (Solution) file for your version of Visual Studio:
|
||||
|
||||
- VS 2015: projects/openttd_vs140.sln
|
||||
- VS 2017: projects/openttd_vs141.sln
|
||||
|
||||
Set the build mode to `Release` in
|
||||
`Build > Configuration manager > Active solution configuration`.
|
||||
You can now compile.
|
||||
|
||||
If everything works well the binary should be in `objs\Win[32|64]\Release\openttd.exe`
|
||||
and in `bin\openttd.exe`
|
||||
|
||||
## Problems
|
||||
|
||||
If compilation fails, double-check that you are using the latest github
|
||||
source. If it still doesn't work, check in on IRC (irc://irc.oftc.net/openttd),
|
||||
to ask for help.

Compiling OpenTTD using Microsoft Visual C++
|
||||
Last updated: 2018-03-21
|
||||
--------------------------------------------
|
||||
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT BEFORE DOING ANY ACTUAL CHANGES!!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SUPPORTED MSVC COMPILERS
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
OpenTTD includes projects for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and later.
|
||||
This is the earliest compiler supported, Visual C++ 2003, Visual C++ 6.0,
|
||||
or earlier, will not compile OpenTTD.
|
||||
You can download the free Visual Studio Community Edition from Microsoft.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1) REQUIRED FILES
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
You might already have some of the files already installed, so check before
|
||||
downloading; mostly because the Platform SDK is about 500MB.
|
||||
Download the following files:
|
||||
|
||||
* openttd-useful.zip (http://binaries.openttd.org/extra/openttd-useful/)
|
||||
* 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 the appropriate "sln" (Solution) file for your version of Visual Studio:
|
||||
- VS 2005: projects/openttd_vs80.sln
|
||||
- VS 2008: projects/openttd_vs90.sln
|
||||
- VS 2010: projects/openttd_vs100.sln
|
||||
- VS 2015: projects/openttd_vs140.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 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.

||||
