Compiling Code under Windows

Do you have mainicon.ico in your root dir? And you should _not_ add it to your project, but ttd.rc should.. and yes, make a makefile, I will compare it with mine!

the root directory means the directory where are all source files? if it is, yes, i put there mainico.ico

in the "other files" diectory, what i have to put?

[SHADOW-XIII]

well ... it didn't find mainicon.ico file ... so I did add OTT project path to the project (resources tab) and it worked .. but how the hell run the EXE (I still got LANG error)

[Darkvater]

yes yes ... I meant that there are /LANG and /DATA directories ... it is the same directory where I installed OTTD

So I ask you again. Have you put all .txt files in the LANG/ directory? Have you compiled each of them using strgen, such that next to all .txt files, there are also .lng files in the LANG/ directory?

If the openttd executeable is in root, where LANG/ is a subdirectory of, it should work. If openttd executeable is in the debug folder for example, you might need to set the working directory in mingw to the root directory.

thx I did it

[Darkvater]

thx I did it

Meaning? You had your files in the wrong place, or openttd magically started working? It's nice to hear how people solved their problems.

[dominik81]

thx I did it

You should consider writing a How-To, to make it easier for other people to get the same problems solved that you encountered.

[SHADOW-XIII]

I will do that in the aftertnoon (g2g no)

and I fixed that by running strgen in OTTD source directory and copying english.lng from SOURCE_OTTD_DIR/LANG directory to the the COMPILED_OTTD_DIR/LANG subdirectory

[Wolf01]

ok, thanks Shadow-XIII

now i got a new error, it seems to be a syntax error or something else, maybe the file is an old release...

I'll bet you my 2 cents that you haven't run strgen yet . Strgen.exe creates strings.h where all these things are defined.

[Wolf01]

it works it works!!

err.... doh!
where i can get libz.dll, and when found it, where i have to put it?
if i compile the game with "WITH_ZLIB" the game doesn't start, instead w/o "WITH_ZLIB" the game works...

another question, how i can make my own title screen?

[Darkvater]

it works it works!!

err.... doh!
where i can get zlib.dll, and when found it, where i have to put it?

Finally . You usually have to put it in the main development directory. Don't worry, if it's in the wrong place, the compiler will complain, so you will find out soon enough.

Which file was it? Have you read the whole post? Have you put the files from useful.zip or from the attachment?

[SHADOW-XIII]

I search my PC for zlib.dll ... copied it into OTTD dir and renamed to libz.dll .. this way it worked

Which one? One of them has to work. You can try removing 'WITH_ZLIB' if you don't want zlib support.
