Depending on the compile environment it means that:
- you freetype-dev is broken;
- you failed to download openttd-useful;
- you failed to properly configure your compiler to add the openttd-useful path to it's search path for includes.

So would you tell me what should I do? I'm not advanced in it.

So telling us what environment you use would be a good start.
1. What OS do you use (Windows/Linux/Mac OSX/Other)?
2. What compiler do you use (msvc/gcc (under mingw or cygwin))?

./configure --without-freetype

OS: Windows XP, compiler: Cygwin

And another newbie to OTTD bites the dust. Perhaps its my lack of technological knowledge or the fact that I do not understand the idea of what a patch is; I only want to integrate the new passenger destinations and timetables in OTTD; its just that I do not know how, despite all advices given in this forum. Might I ask for a simpler way, can somebody help me by providing a prepared OTTD patch with the above patches in it? I know I ask for a lot but there must be loads who have already that included.

towards the begining of this thread It was stated:

where should the folder be put that has SVN? I looked and I didn't see an answer.

At a place you can find it again.

ok, just wondering so I don't screw OTTD up beyond repiar, thanks!

ok now I have another question, what if the patch finds conflicting lines in the script (I can only do a little HTML and CSS nothing else so I dont know what the problem is) the patches that im trying to install are Bilbo's Extra large map patch and his Max Hight Modification patch

Then, unless a kind soul helps you out, you will need to find by yourself what is the right part. This is called a conflict, and a conflict can only be fixed by knowing what the code is intended to do on both patches (if combining) or on trunk.
Yes, you have to learn C/C++ for that, no magic trick possible.

thank you, and sorry for being a noob

Then you're out of luck. My "height modification patch" is incomplete and even if you somehow manage to apply it, you won't get functional game.

For more height levels go to http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=40844 and use the patch from there. Unlike my unfinished patch it is working and perhaps it would work. If not, drop here a line and I may look at it.

Hmm ... I think I rather remove link to my unfinished "Max Hight Modification patch" from my signature, as it is kinda obsolete ....

You do not have to excuse yourself for being new at something This is totally normal.
What is less acceptable is to stay one. But i'm pretty sure it will not be your case

Hi!

i downloadet the source via TourtoiseSVN. Its revision 15962.
Now i´d like to install a daylength patch http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=42432

After i did what meusH wrote at the beginning of this thread, i dont know how to play the game with the patch.
Patch has revision 15961.

I did all from meusH`s post. Installed SVN. created folder then Downloadet source. then "add patch". Chosed the .patch file and clicket "patch all". Then SVN did some changes in the source (i think), but i dont know what to do now! How do i link the source with my OTTD 0.7.0? ingame i cant see the daylength options....

please help

You need to compile the game. There are instructions on the wiki.

I can seem to get BuildOpenTTD to work.
It doesn't seem to want to connect to the server for the source code?

Here's the exact error message I get:

The remote server returned an error (404) Not Found

Right after that, I get this one:

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: items

EDIT: Y'know what?
Never mind. I see after a bit of searching that this is a known problem without a fix right now.
I'll leave the compiling to you guys. You're better at it anyway.

Don't give up so fast. there are many other compilers.
As long as we dont have to call the Whambulance people will help you if you get stuck. After trying and continuing to tell what went wrong.

Maybe I'll give it another try in the morning, following the FAQ on the OpenTTD wiki, but honestly... I'm not really that tech-savvy, so I'm happy enough when I get compilations made by others working for myself.

I'll try something else tomorrow then and see how it goes.

EDIT: Also, I can see where the Whambulance-thing comes from, but I'm not giving up on frustration.
More... knowing my limits, satisfaction with what I've got anyway... and maybe just a milligram of frustration, I'll admit.

EDIT: Actually, no. It's too complicated for me, and it's only eyecandy I'm trying to add anyway. All I need, I've already got.

EDIT AGAIN: Curiousity got the better of me.
So, I've now compiled the trunk, it seems, in MinGW.
How do I make it so, that whatever patch I cobbled together gets compiled with the trunk?
Do I need to place the files I made with tortoiseSVN into a folder, or do I need to run a command-line in MinGW?

Now you paste the patchfile,(.patch or .diff) in your "trunk"folder.
Rightclick select apply patch.
Solve conflicts if any.
Save.
Recompile.
Start exe.

If you are into making patches yourself:

Adjust source manually.
Save.
Recompile.

ps:
Glad you have taken the whambulance in a good way.
Everybody gets frustrated at some point.
No matter who you are or how much experience you have.
My best suggestion is then:
Do something else for a while but do get back at it.
There is no substitute for
YEAH, I DID IT !!!!
