[News] Ogre3D now supports Windows Phone 8!

Some weeks ago, Microsoft and Nokia contacted us and offered to provide a patch to officially support Ogre3D on Windows Phone 8 (WP8). Now it is official!
Read the full story here:
http://www.ogre3d.org/2012/10/30/ogre-n ... ws-phone-8
We were also featured in the WP8 launch key note slides that were just presented at the BUILD 2012 developer conference:

This doesn't surprise me to be honest.
And if I were people look into getting your apps store ready as I bet there will be free stuff up for grabs from Nokia and ms the current wp7 store gave xboxes and kinects for app submissions and in fact Nokia gave out 20,000 dev phones to the Symbian community with deployed apps ages ago.

Will there be a C# wrapper or other managed C# interface for the WP8 version of Ogre3D?
The loss of XNA with no inbuilt C# alternative is a real shame in my opinion. Hopefully we'll have MonoGame available for WP8 soon, but it would be great to have other alternatives too and Ogre3D is one that would be superb to have.

Hi, you mentioned in your announcement .. "We were also able to run Windows 8 with the Windows Phone 8 SDK using the free VMware player with some settings tweaking to allow the phone emulation to run on the virtual machine. So this is an interesting option for non-Windows users who want to install the SDK without changing their host OS."
Would you be able to share how you managed that ? .. e.g. what were the settings tweaked .. your feedback is much appreciated.

It was really quite good tho I have run into some issues when I try to run it
I copied the browser sample project to the samples dir in the generated project from cmake, I am currently getting this error
1>c:\users\thomas\desktop\o2\samples\browser\include\filesystemlayerimpl.h(31): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'FileSystemLayer.h': No such file or directory (..\src\FileSystemLayerImpl_WIN32.cpp)

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 55 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I am quite new to ogre 3d so there is probably something I messed up with the cmake / hg pull, really am looking forward to making some games in wp8 but having come from xna I thought ogre would be the best route forward. Keep being awesome guys

ok, try this, right click SampleBrowserWP8 -> Properties -> C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories
Add the path of
[your build directory]\include ex: c:\ogre\build6\include
[your dependencies dir]\include ex: C:\ogre\dep\include
[your dependencies dir]\include\ois
See if it solves the issue

BTW: For anyone that has cmake issues - seems that CMake 2.8.10 has issues with vs express, try using
version 2.8.9 of cmake that worked for me

If you get
Code: Select all
... error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MD_DynamicRelease' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' in ...
try this: select all project, right click any project from the selected ones -> Properties -> C++ -> Code generation -> Multi threaded Debug DLL (or release based on the config)
(I didn't use the official release WP8 SDK but the per-release - so this may be a new issue in the final release)

This mean you didn't create and add the shader cache (Cache.bin)

I will create something for you.
jarno wrote: And how long till the RC1?
We are working on some new crashes (unrelated to WP8), and some issues with some of the samples (when running in WP8), when the issues will be resolved - we will release, I hope soon, will love some help - as my time will be limited this next few weeks.
