I am trying to get OpenTTD and SDLPoP to run but I get an error message about SDL not being able to run in a DOS window. I have SDL installed with YUM. Any suggestions? I tried installing the SDL DLL's from Hobbes but I get the same error.

Hi ChisTech

I'm trying "SDLPoP_1-16.zip". I'm using ArcaOS 5.0.7 and when I run "prince.exe" I get:

--- Quote ---[C:\HOME\DESKTOP\SDLPOP_1-16\SDLPOP_V1.16]prince
SYS1804: The system cannot find the file SDL2.

[C:\HOME\DESKTOP\SDLPOP_1-16\SDLPOP_V1.16]

--- End quote ---

I think that "prince.exe" are requesting different SDL libraries that are not on the RPM.

The ones on the RPM are:
SDL2200.dll
SDL2I200.dll
SDL2M200.dll

The ones that asks "prince.exe" are listed on the PMDLL image I'm attaching.
- SDL2.DLL
- SDL2IMG.DLL
- SDL2MIX.DLL

Those DLLs are listed on "SDL2_2-0-4_2020-09-07.zip"

This happens because (long story short) we have two different ports of SDL2.

Hi

Checking OpenTTD 12.1, it uses the SDL2 libraries from the RPM.

But you will get an error when try to load, you need to also get these files to complete game package.

https://www.openttd.org/downloads/opengfx-releases/latest
https://www.openttd.org/downloads/opensfx-releases/latest
https://www.openttd.org/downloads/openmsx-releases/latest

If I don't recall wrong you need to put the .tar files inside the /baseset.

There was a discussion about OpenTTD here.

Regards
