Visual Studio Compiler Errors (Files not found)

[PNDA_]

Hi,
ive just started doing some stuff for Coding for OpenTTD which i will be uploading to GitHub when im finished

So these are the errors i get:

Code: Select all

Error	C1083	Cannot open include file: 'ft2build.h': No such file or directory (compiling source file ..\src\strings.cpp)	openttd	trunk\src\fontdetection.h	19	
Error	C1083	Cannot open include file: 'lzo/lzo1x.h': No such file or directory	openttd	trunk\src\saveload\saveload.cpp	1976	
Error	C1083	Cannot open include file: 'zlib.h': No such file or directory	openttd	trunk\src\network\network_content.cpp	27		
Error	C1083	Cannot open include file: 'png.h': No such file or directory	openttd	trunk\src\screenshot.cpp	224	

Ive found these files in the .zip files in \OpenTTD Essentials\. do i have to unzip these?

Thanks in advance

you have to unpack those, and then set up a library path in visual studio so it finds them.


check out http://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling for details

Even if I put in a library path in visual studio I get those errors. Also why are they not unpacked from the start?

check out http://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling for details

I followed that and it nowhere said i have to unpack them and it doesnt say Ii have to put a library path to them.

are you sure? because for example at http://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling_on_Wi ... _the_files i see the steps 1.4, 2.9 and 2.10

I am very sure, because i have done all of these steps, and step 1.4 doesnt say that the zip files "lpng1618" nor "zlib128" have to be unzipped even though the files are inside those folders.
And in step 2.9 and 2.10 it refers to a 2 different folders and i have succesfully linked them

Did you download "openttd-useful-6.0-source" or "openttd-useful-6.0-win"? As I understand the tutorial, you need openttd-useful-6.0-win and those zip files you are mentioning are in source.
