Build openttd and zlib.h+png.h

[peste1]

The compiler ask for zlib.h and png.h files... how can I obtain it?

Last CVS version.

on SF, take the "useful" package...

SF : http://sourceforge.net/projects/openttd/

Thanks... but... the same error:

c:\TTDSorgente\saveload.c(816): fatal error C1083: Cannot open the "zlib.h" file: No such file or directory

And the same for png.h.

I don't know the tools you use to compile it.
you need to copy the .h file into an include folder, or (what I do) change the setting of your project to add the folder where those file stands as "other include directory" in VC6.

you need to have zlib and libpng installed, since libpng needs zlib, you only have to think about libpng. how to install them depens on what OS you are using

Having some problems getting this to compile on MS Visual Studio 2003, this is the error I got:

Code: Select all

ttd fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '.\libpng.lib'

This was after I installed the useful tools headers into \Vc7\include. I installed the libpng.lib into MSVC2003\Vc7\lib\. I have tried both versions (one from useful tools and the other which has a link a few posts up).

Am I putting the lib in the wrong place or is there an installation method I'm unaware of?

Thanx for your time,

I figured it out. Stupid me. I put the libs in the wrong place, they needed to be in the main directory of the code. Thanx for letting me solve my own problem, lol
