Building OGRE From Source
Image
For developers with more experience, building OGRE from source is usually the more attractive option. For some, it is the only option as prebuilt binaries are not available. Source provides the fastest access to bug fixes and allows the developer to debug any aspect of their code or OGRE. It is also necessary for contributing patches.
Info As of version 1.7 (Cthugha), the Ogre project uses CMake as its primary build system. See Building Ogre Shoggoth for previous versions.

For the latest stable code (all platforms), you can check out the source from Mercurial.
If using windows, you might also want to read a quick guide about getting the sources with tortoisehg, a windows client.

The actual stable revision is always in a specific branch, e.g. "v1-7" for Cthugha, and not the default branch. The 'default' branch is the latest unstable version and is not fully API-compatible with the stable stream, and may have temporary issues. Recommended only for experienced developers.
