+Compiling and developing OpenTTD on MandrakeLinux 10.0 Official
+
+A quick guide to get started with OpenTTD development on Linux.
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.) RPMs:
+
+Most packages that are required for development (like gcc) should already be installed on your box. You will require those RPMs additionally:
+- libsdl1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk
+- subversion-1.0.1-1mdk (+ dependencies)
+- libsvn_ra_svn1_0-1.0.1-1mdk
+
+
+2.) Subversion:
+
+To obtain the source code from the subversion server type
+  $ svn co svn://svn.openttd.com/openttd/trunk openttd
+from command line to dump the code into the directory 'openttd'.
+
+To update your working copy to the latest revision use
+  $ svn update
+Don't worry, your version will be merged with the latest version.
+
+The command
+  $ svn diff > mypatch.diff
+creates a patch file (aka diff file) which you can submit to the developers to share your improvements.
+
+You can undo changes to a file with
+  $svn revert filename
+
+
+3.) Required data files:
+
+Copy the following files from the WINDOWS version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe to openttd/data/
+  sample.cat
+  trg1r.grf
+  trgcr.grf
+  trghr.grf
+  trgir.grf
+  trgtr.grf
+  
+  
+4.) Compiling and running:
+
+Compile OpenTTD with
+  $ make
+and run it with
+  $ ./ttd
+
+     
+5.) Playing the soundtrack:
+
+If you want the original TTD music you need to copy the whole /gm/ directory from Windows. Additionally the TiMidity driver is required:
+  TiMidity++-2.12.0-0.pre1.4mdk (+ dependencies)
+To run OpenTTD with music support type
+  $ ./ttd -m extmidi
+
