Instructions on how to build OGRE 2.1

[iblues1976]

Hello all,

We want to start a new project and use OGRE 2.1. We have used before 1.7,1.8,1.9 but we know there is a big difference.
While 2.1 is not "officially" stable, I think the direction is what matters.

Is there a document that provides information about "How to get OGRE 2.1, build Ogre 2.1 from source" ?

Thanks

Thanks,

I can always translate into english but I don't know if the automatic translation would be helpful. Ideally, I'm looking for a Windows build but anything will work.
Thanks

The instructions are the same as in 1.x

The only addition is that if you want the samples (which you probably do) you need to turn on OGRE_BUILD_SAMPLES2 (the old OGRE_BUILD_SAMPLES contains the old samples which don't work)
If you're on windows you'll have to setup SDL2 paths manually on CMake so these samples can work.
Download and compile SDL2.

For example my setup is:

Code: Select all

SDL2MAIN_LIBRARY G:\SDK\SDL2\VisualC\Win32\Debug\SDL2.lib
SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR G:\SDK\SDL2\include
SDL2_LIBRARY G:\SDK\SDL2\VisualC\Win32\Debug\SDL2.lib

"G:\SDK\SDL2\" is where I unpacked the SDL2 source code and compiled it (solution files for compiling with Visual Studio are in G:\SDK\SDL2\VisualC).

EDIT: Also don't play with the CMake options too much. First get it running with the default settings. Once you got it, you can start tweaking it (just in case you bump into a broken one or an invalid combination, etc)

I'm not sure, but if I recall correctly I kept generating the cmake a few times, always setting the available SDL2 options, and after a few times it managed to find, conifgure and set everything correctly.

I'll try again on Monday and if it actually works I'll share what I find out.

Since from Windows 8.1 DirectX SDK is includes to Windows SDK, I needed to set variable DXSDK_DIR=c:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\ in order to build SDL library.

Ok,
I've managed to setup CMake build, the dependencies are the same?
