Does Ogre-Next run on any linux systems

Post by Nickak2003 »

I'm putting together a server but I would like to run my Ogre software on it, I am looking at the Ogre-Next and there is no specific mention of other compilers besides VS. Are there any specific issues, or should be basically portable?

It does on my Debian 11 no problem.
I think it should be portable.

Yes, I develop Ogre-Next on Ubuntu as main, then test on Windows. See our build scripts and the Linux setup page.

Getting OpenGL to work on certain server configurations can be tricky though (we have developed EGL Headless for this reason, it needs to be turned on from CMake specifically) if X11 isn't running.

IIRC Vulkan also has headless support.
