History: MogreBuilder

The MogreBuilder is a nice tool to build Mogre automatically.
It downloads all needed sources, does wrapping and build it.

Depencies

Before usage you just need to install:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
  • OR alternatively Visual C# 2010 Express (free)
• TortoiseHg
• Cmake
• DirectX SDK (June 2010)

You also should look to the file readMe.txt of the MogreBuilder project. It could contain further information.

Step by step

• Download MogreBuilder source and compile (download)
• Create an empty working directory and set the command line parameter in project properties. e.g. C:\Mogre
• Setup the config file if required. There is a Default.cfg as an example.

You can specify a different config file using the command line options:

MogreBuilder C:\Mogre -config myConfig.cfg

The auto-builder should now ran successfully.
(please be patient during the repository cloning tasks)
