#no idea so far...

apt-get install libfreetype6-dev   # see "ubuntu dependency problem" below


# ubuntu dependency problem :
# PROBLEM : apt-get install something  fails :
# ERRORMSG :                 Depends: 	libglib2.0-0 (=2.10.2-1ubuntu3) but 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
# SOLUTION:  dpkg --force-depends -r 	libglib2.0-0
# 		download		libglib2.0-dev
# from http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libdevel/libglib2.0-dev  or so
# rightclick downloaded file, choose install
# apt-get -f install
# apt-get install something    # should work now
# solution based on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199228
# idea : maybe activate security / update source in sources.list

# got some trouble with that on ubuntu, here is help : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199228 (the post with #a 4 step solution)
#hello all, I had the same problem in dapper 6.06 and fixed it by
#(please perform all the steps you may think some are not neccessary but they will configure apt-get -f install in step #4)
#1)sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev (but it fails)
#2)sudo dpkg --force-depends -r libglib2.0-0(this will remove libglib)
#3)downloaded libglib2.0-dev(http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libdevel/libglib2.0-dev) and tried to install it(but it #failed)
#4)apt-get -f install(it will do everything and remove the package which was causing the problem which is #libglib2.0-data or something like that and install the downloaded libglib and download libartsc0-dev from the net and #at last download libsdl1.2-dev and install it)
#Hope it helps and plz do all the steps for it to work.

# get ogre source from http://ogre3d.org
cd ogrenew
aclocal
./bootstrap
./configure --with-platform=SDL
# i first tried without sdl, but only got a blank screen after the graphical resolution chooser
make
make install
# add a line "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf
/sbin/ldconfig
cd Samples/Common/bin/
./SkyBox

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");
