SDK missing headers and lib for tutorial? Topic is solved

[rh_auto8]

Ogre Version: 1.11.1
Operating System: Windows 8.1

Hi All,

I've just tried using Ogre3d for the first time, and I'm at the setup stage of the tutorial. All the tutorials during the setup refer to using an include to an OGRE BOOST, and and say its in the OGRE SDK I downloaded. However, there is no sign of these in the SDK download. Heres an example for the QT setup tutorial:

Code: Select all

$(OGRE_HOME)\\include\\OIS
$(OGRE_HOME)\\boost

The tutorial also says to include OIS lib for which there isnt one. Should these been on here or is the tutorial really old and these arnt needed anymore?

I'm assuming these missing headers and library are the reason im getting the following comp error:

Code: Select all

undefined reference to `_imp___ZN4Ogre4RootC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEES8_S8_'

Thanks for any help!!!

this. You can find some updated tutorials here:

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at the new tutorial for 1.11.1, I'm quite new to CMake and the tutorial basically skims over all the setup and pretty much says, do this:

Code: Select all

# specify which version and components you need
find_package(OGRE 1.11 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Bites RTShaderSystem)
# copy resource.cfg next to our binaries where OGRE looks for it
file(COPY ${OGRE_CONFIG_DIR}/resources.cfg DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})

How and where do I configure where it should be looking for my SDK locations (does it even use (OGRE_HOME) any more?), for example its in:

Code: Select all

C:\Ogre3D\SDK\1_11_1\MSVC

I had a look around online, but again solutions seem to reference folder structures that are completely different or files that dont exist!

Thanks for any help!!!!

Following on from my last email, I managed to provide it with the OgreConfig.cmake by doing the following:

Code: Select all

# Stuff I added in that seemed missing....
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)

set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)

set(OGRE_DIR $ENV{OGRE_HOME}\\CMake)
message("Ogre SDK is at = $ENV{OGRE_HOME}")
message("Ogre CMakes at = ${OGRE_DIR}")

# What the tutorial tells you to do........
# specify which version and components you need
find_package(OGRE 1.11.1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Bites RTShaderSystem)

# copy resource.cfg next to our binaries where OGRE looks for it
file(COPY ${OGRE_CONFIG_DIR}/resources.cfg DESTINATION ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
# End of tutorial

But now I get this :S, I dont understand how the SDKs own cmake file isnt compatiable with itself.........:

Code: Select all

Could not find a configuration file for package "OGRE" that is compatible
with requested version "1.11".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

C:/Ogre3D/SDK/1_11_1/MSVC/CMake/OGREConfig.cmake, version: 1.11.1 (64bit)

Note: I changed the requested version to 1.11.1 and it still doesnt work

I'm going to say this particular issue isresolved. The tutorial linked by paroj above suggests that the OGRE WIKI tutorial (http://wiki.ogre3d.org/Setting+Up+An+Ap ... +QtCreator) is really out of date (at the bottom it says it was last updated in 2013 ). My issues in the last 2 posts were down to CMake and my compiler version which I have now resolved. I'll mark paroj's answer as resolving this.
