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 [http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-csharp-express|Visual C# 2010 Express] (free)
* [http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/download/index.html|TortoiseHg]
* [http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html|Cmake]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=6812|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 ([https://bitbucket.org/mogre/mogrebuilder|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:
{CODE()}MogreBuilder C:\Mogre -config myConfig.cfg{CODE}
The auto-builder should now ran successfully.
(please be patient during the repository cloning tasks)
