If you didn't give ./configure a --prefix argument then `make install'
will want to place it under /usr/local.

Looking at the makefiles you could try `make run' to run it from here,
right where you built it.

Or, you could try

 mkdir ../openttd-1.8.0-install
 ./configure --prefix="`readlink -e ../openttd-1.8.0-install`"
 make all install
 ../openttd-1.8.0-install/bin/openttd

Cheers, Ralph.

Thank you Ralph, make run let me run it straight off, I also ran sudo 
make install so that it could install it in /usr/local/game which is 
where the previous version had been installed. The only thing I don't 
currently have is sound but I think I can install that as a separate file.



Once again thanks for your help


Tim

OK, ./configure ran and so did Make, there was only one issue during the 
make and that was this:


In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494:0,
 from /usr/include/c++/7/cstring:42,
 from /home/mit/ottd-source/openttd-1.8.0/src/stdafx.h:85,

   return __builtin___memset_chk (__dest, __ch, __len, __bos0 (__dest));

Which looking at it is an in game setting (rather than a lib file missing)

Question is, where is the file(s)  that I now need to run the game, if I 
type openttd at the cli the old version 1.7.1 starts?

OK I have hit my first hic up, if I go

./configure

I get file not found

mit@prometheus:~/ottd-source/openttd-1.8.0$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

I have tried /bin/bash ./configure but get the same result

Here are the contents of the openttd-1.8.0 folder

mit@prometheus:~/ottd-source/openttd-1.8.0$ ls -1 -F
ai/
baseset/
changelog.txt*
COPYING*
docs/
game/
known-bugs.txt*
lang/
man/
media/
openttd*
readme.txt*
scripts/

I have chmod 777 the openttf-1.8.0 folder

I have checked I have gcc (4.7, 6 & 7) installed, which I do along with 
build essentials which is installed


What am I missing?

Tim

Hi Tim,

So it's puzzling why OpenTTD built against Debian 8 six months after

libpng 1.2 isn't available in stable, only oldstable and older.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libpng12=names=all=all

But openttd in Debian's stable and testing both want libpng 1.6.
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/openttd
https://packages.debian.org/buster/openttd
(These stupid release names!)
So where's the openttd package that you're trying to install coming from?

Re: [Dorset] Compiling from source?

[Hamish MB]

Hi,

If you cd into the source and run

./configure

it should tell you what you need, if anything.

You can use checkinstall (for Debian or Ubuntu) where you would usually run 
make install to make a Debian package.

Then you can easily remove the program with dpkg or apt

Hope this helps,
Hamish
