Compile OpenTTD 1.9.2 on Ubuntu 19.04

Post by ForKicks »

Hi!

Trying to compile the OpenTTD 1.9.2 from source, but I'm stuck on make.

I'm reciving: OpenTTD-1.9.2/src/language.h:17:10: fatal error: unicode/coll.h: No such file or directory

I'm almost certain I have the correct libraries, but I guess not.

Anyone know what I'm missing?

The unicode/ includes are from ICU, so check if you have the right -dev packages for the right version of ICU installed.

What do you think does "63.1" mean?

Packages normally have a version number embedded in their name.
Being a retired OpenTTD developer does not mean I know what I am doing.

I don't know what does not work for you, but here are the steps I followed on Ubuntu 18.04:

0. Add source code to sources.list
App "Software&Updates", Tab "Ubuntu Software": check box "Source Code"

1. Download build dependencies for openttd

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get build-dep openttd
2. Install "git" (if you don't have it yet)

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install git
3. Install MIDI enabler (if you want to play music)

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install timidity freepats
4. Download Source Code

Code: Select all

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD.git
5. Configure and compile

Code: Select all

$ ./configure
$ make
6. Launch the executable

Code: Select all

$ ./bin/openttd

Thanks a lot for updating!
I tried this but unfortunately I get this message when downloading dependencies:

***
Reading package lists... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for openttd
***

I haven't played it in 4 years and I just wish I can come back :)

It looks like you forgot the step 0: check the "source code" to the list of things downloadable from the internet.

This is how I did with Ubuntu 18.04:
  1. Open "Software & Updates"
  2. Tab "Ubuntu Software"
  3. Tick the "Source code" check box (you'll probably have to type a password)
This is also doable via the command line as explained here. It might be a bit different for Ubuntu 19.04, but I'm pretty sure there is a way to achieve this via the GUI.

Once you've achieved this, there should be no problem downloading the dependencies for OpenTTD (Step 1 in my previous post).
