OldOgreInstallNotes

see also User_Manual

OBSOLETE ! this page only contains old notes for building ogre, but you might be better off following the readme that comes with ogre.

Linux

• on linux you have to compile sfz yourself until we find a maintainer, see Building_from_source
• you need ogre3d (see below) (Version 1.4.0 (Eihort) or later)

OGRE

this guide is quite old, we suggest following the build instructions that come with ogre, and only read this here if you have problems.

Ghoulsblade 23:23, 21 October 2006 (CEST) : here is what i am currently trying, (fresh kubuntu 6.06.1 kernel 2.6.15-26-386) it compiles, links, installs and runs, but i only get a black screen after some graphical chooser.. maybe try rtt hack ? currently i am trying that "./configure --with-platform=SDL"

Ghoulsblade 00:48, 22 October 2006 (CEST): update : it worked fine with "./configure --with-platform=SDL"

Notes for Ubuntu

Ogre 1.2 Source also works good with platform SDL, but you need to make sh bootstrap first and then ./configure --with-platform=SDL && make && make install. Without bootstrap make install caused errors. The OgreApi changed a bit, so you also need to replace the line with getSceneManager in client.cpp with the following

mSceneMgr = mRoot->createSceneManager(ST_GENERIC,"main");
