To compile OpenRA, open the OpenRA.sln solution in the main folder,
or build it from the command-line with MSBuild.
To run OpenRA, several files from the original games install need
to be copied to the root of the project directory. The required files are:
redalert.mix
conquer.mix
temperat.mix
interior.mix
snow.mix
sounds.mix
allies.mix
russian.mix
general.mix
hires1.mix
expand2.mix
Red Alert has been released by EA Games as freeware so it shouldnt
be too hard to find a legal copy of the CD images. Unfortunately the
installer is 16-bit and so wont run on 64-bit operating systems. This
can be worked around by using the Red Alert Setup Manager
(http://ra.afraid.org/html/downloads/utilities-3.html).
Make sure you apply the no-CD protection fix so all the files needed
are installed to the hard drive.
Dependencies - Make sure you have these installed, or you'll
have very strange errors.
