Hi Tim,
From the same page I linked to earlier but the Debian package for
either Wheezie or Jessie 64bit
https://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable
That says
Latest release in stable is 1.8.0, released on 2018-04-01 13:07 UTC.
with packages for Debian Jessie and Wheezy.
https://www.debian.org/releases/ says
Debian 8 Jessie oldstable
Debian 9 Stretch stable released 2017-06-17
So it's puzzling why OpenTTD built against Debian 8 six months after
Debian 9 became the normal stable one. Perhaps its source isn't
compatible with 9, but you'll find that out!
Have you tried... Are, here we are:
https://www.reddit.com/r/openttd/comments/7eumoh/installing_openttd_on_debian_stretch/
One comment in particular refers to
https://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling_on_(GNU/)Linux_and_*BSD#Manually
that still talks of libpng12-dev, but you know now to use 16 instead.
You may have to research other missing packages in that list in a
similar way.
Cheers, Ralph.
Thanks for the info Ralph, I have been ambling through some of the
earlier bits you and Hamish sent me. But do I like the comments from
reddit.com
I have been informed that I am going out shortly so this has now become
a later this afternoon\evening project :(
