    Versions 4.1 and earlier give bogus warnings about uninitialised variables.

			




	
	
	
		
 
    Versions 4.4 - 4.6 give bogus warnings about freeing non-heap objects.

			




	
	
	
		
 
    Versions 4.5 and later give invalid warnings when lto is enabled.

    These old versions fail due to OpenTTD's template usage.

			




	
	
	
		
 
  - GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.5. It optimizes enums too aggressively.

			




	
	
	
		
 
    See http://bugs.openttd.org/task/5513 and references therein.

			




	
	
	
		
 
  - Intel C++ Compiler (ICC) 11.1 and earlier.

			




	
	
	
		
 
    Version 10.0 and earlier fail a configure check and fail with recent system

    Version 10.1 fails to compile station_gui.cpp.

			




	
	
	
		
 
    Version 11.1 fails with an internal error when compiling network.cpp.

  - (Open) Watcom.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
If any of these compilers can compile OpenTTD again, please let us know.

			




	
	
	
		
 
Patches to support more compilers are welcome.

In order to view the translation in the game, you need to compile your language

			




	
	
	
		
 
file with the strgen utility. You can download the precompiled strgen from:

			




	
	
	
		
 
http://www.openttd.org/download-strgen

			




	
	
	
		
 
To compile it yourself just take the normal OpenTTD sources and build that.

			




	
	
	
		
 
During the build process the strgen utility will be made.

			




	
	
	
		
 
file with the strgen utility. As this utility is tailored to a specific OpenTTD

			




	
	
	
		
 
version, you need to compile it yourself. Just take the normal OpenTTD sources

			




	
	
	
		
 
and build that. During the build process the strgen utility will be made.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
strgen is a command-line utility. It takes the language filename as parameter.

			




	
	
	
		
 
Example:

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
strgen lang/german.txt

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
This results in compiling german.txt and produces another file named german.lng.

			




	
	
	
		
 
Any missing strings are replaced with the English strings. Note that it looks

			




	
	
	
		
 
for english.txt in the lang subdirectory, which is where your language file

			




	
	
	
		
 
should also be.

			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
That is all! You should now be able to select the language in the game options.
