Well, as I wrote: This was meant to serve as an updated version of that guide, as DESTDIR wasn't included in that guide so it wasn't included here. If you have a manner to improve what I have written please write it out, otherwise your thoughts carry as much weight as the electrons that brought them here. If you notice I added Gymnasiast's recommendation to use make install over the previous method of running it from the folder.

I can be as sarcastic as I want, I scoured the available resources to come up with something that benefits others. Upon finding a problem with the process I displayed it in a manner where other people wouldn't have to spend time figuring it out. If using 'make install' is the correct way to do it why not make changes here https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2#32-compiling-and-running so others don't run into problems.

Addendum: I was having constant errors with the objects. Followed this https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Building-OpenRCT2-on-Linux and created a folder called "object" in the data folder. I unzipped the contents of https://github.com/OpenRCT2/objects to here and copied the contents of the /rct/app/ObjData to /data/rct2 and everything worked. Only took 4 days to figure that problem out.

Found it. the folder needed to be called "object". https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Building-OpenRCT2-on-Linux

My folder structure looks like this: OpenRCT2 -OpenRCT2 -->build -->data -RCT -->app The folder build is where I complied the program at and app is where innoextract extracted the setup files to. In a subfolder of app (ObjData) I am able to find the .dat files with names matching the names of the missing files. I linked the data folder using the command ln -s ../data data into the build folder. The data folder has a subfolder called objects with the contents of https://github.com/OpenRCT2/objects in it and within that folder lies the folders -official -rct1 -rct2 -rctt -rctww. I copied the contents of ObjData to the folder rct2. Still the objects could not be found.

Hello, I recently got OpenRCT2 running on my RPi4 w/ RPi OS, but I am still having a final problem that I don't know how to solve. I am trying to play Six Flags Great Adventure to test the program but a bunch of objects are missing. I press the download all button but the objects don't download, the only indication I have is in the terminal window "query failed (status 500)". Any assistance would be appreciated.

The previous guide was a bit out of date so I created this: I make a folder called OpenRCT2 that contained two sub folders: OpenRCT2 and RCT. OpenRCT was built after using the git command to download the latest repo. RCT is where I saved the source install file and extracted it using innoextract. Part 1 Purchase and extract the original RCT files. I used the GOG version of the installer. https://openrct2.org/quickstart/extract-rct2-files/linux sudo apt update sudo apt install innoextract mkdir OpenRCT2 && cd OpenRCT2 mkdir RCT && cd RCT This folder is where the main RCT files will go. Transfer the setup files to this folder from where ever you may have them: EX I navigated to the USB folder with the files in it and transferred from there sudo mv setup_roller* [Path to RCT] && cd [Path to RCT] From the folder where the installer was transferred to innoextract setup* The RCT2 files are now in the folder: ../OpenRCT2/RCT/app Part 2 Building for RPi 4 Based off https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=219430 with updates sudo apt install cmake libsdl2-dev libicu-dev gcc pkg-config libjansson-dev libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcrypto++-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng-dev libssl-dev libzip-dev build-essential make duktape-dev -y Note: may require additional libraries: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/#2-downloading-the-game-pre-built cd .. (should be a the top OpenRCT2 folder now) I also installed google benchmark via git. https://github.com/google/benchmark directions provided there. Benchmark cmake: cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-mcpu=cortex-a72" sudo apt full-upgrade This step ensures that the system is fully up to date and the required dependencies are installed. At this point I expect you’re in the folder ../OpenRCT with the subfolder of RCT. git clone https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2.git cd OpenRCT2 mkdir build && cd build cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -DNDEBUG -mcpu=cortex-a72" *Updated for RPi4 CPU make make g2 cp g2.dat [Path to/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/data/. ] EX: cp g2.dat /home/pi/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/data/. ln -s ../data data To install the game: sudo make install Alternatively: start the game from the build directory: ./openrct2 There's a setting that causes it to crash with a segmentation fault but I haven't narrowed it down to which one. It's random title sequence. If that happens: cd ~/.config/OpenRCT2 rm config.ini Or you can try and edit it using a text editor. Happy Gaming

This is from my Linux setup: My setup file is titled setup_rollercoaster_tycoon_2_triple_thrill_pack_2.01.043_(17987) sudo apt update sudo apt install innoextract cd to the setup download directory innoextract setup_rollercoaster*
