Comment 1 Joseph Wang 2013-01-26 18:08:42 CET 
Is there a way of making this work without the closed source data files.  I have gotten it to compile, but it needs some legally questionable bits from the old games.
Comment 2 Jerome Quelin 2013-01-28 10:44:23 CET 
Indeed, you are right: original files are needed. :-(
Dont know if that's still interesting to package it then?
Comment 3 Jerome Quelin 2013-05-21 16:14:52 CEST 
In fact, EA published the games as freeware some years ago, and there's a button in openra to automatically download them.

cf https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/FAQ "Do I need the original RA/C&C game installed?"
Comment 4 Jerome Quelin 2013-05-28 10:11:40 CEST 
Joseph, do you think it's possible now to package openra?
