This can be -done during installing Visual Studio, by selecting -`Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64` (and possibly -`Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64` depending on your version). If not, you -can get it at this location: - -- [MS Windows Platform SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk) - -Install the SDK by following the instructions as given. - -### OpenTTD dependencies - -Dependencies for OpenTTD on Windows are handled via -[vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/). First you need to install vcpkg -by following the `Quick Start` instructions of their -[README](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/README.md). - -After this, you can install the dependencies OpenTTD needs. We advise to use -the `static` versions, and OpenTTD currently needs the following dependencies: - -- liblzma -- libpng -- lzo -- zlib - -To install both the x64 (64bit) and x86 (32bit) variants, you can use: - -```ps -.\vcpkg install liblzma:x64-windows-static libpng:x64-windows-static lzo:x64-windows-static zlib:x64-windows-static -.\vcpkg install liblzma:x86-windows-static libpng:x86-windows-static lzo:x86-windows-static zlib:x86-windows-static -``` - -## TTD Graphics files - -See section 4.1 of README.md for the required 3rdparty files and how to install them. - -## Compiling - -Open the appropriate `sln` (Solution) file for your version of Visual Studio: - -- VS 2015: projects/openttd_vs140.sln -- VS 2017: projects/openttd_vs141.sln -- VS 2019: projects/openttd_vs142.sln - -Set the build mode to `Release` in -`Build > Configuration manager > Active solution configuration`. -You can now compile. - -If everything works well the binary should be in `objs\Win[32|64]\Release\openttd.exe` -and in `bin\openttd.exe` - -## Problems - -If compilation fails, double-check that you are using the latest github -source. If it still doesn't work, check in on IRC (irc://irc.oftc.net/openttd), -to ask for help. |
