What you need to build Ogre from source.
|
Introduction
This is a small check list of things you need to do before you're ready to build Ogre from source.
|
Before you begin
Ogre does not play well with "Software Rasterizers", so if you run glxinfo | grep Software and it finds "OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer", you may need to investigate upgrading your graphics card or its drivers. See jockey-gtk on Ubuntu for driver help.
The easiest way to get Ogre is to install via package manager, e.g.
sudo apt-get install libogre-dev
However, this may be out of date, e.g. for Ubuntu 10.04 only Ogre 1.6.4 is available, although the latest release is 1.7.1.
If you want the latest version of Ogre, follow the directions below and then the CMake Quick Start Guide
 Ubuntu
For Ubuntu Karmic and above:
Compiler And Configuration Tools Copy to clipboard sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libtool
Required Dependencies Copy to clipboard sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libfreeimage-dev libzzip-dev libxrandr-dev libxaw7-dev freeglut3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
If during Ogre build any headers are still missing, try adding these one at a time, and update the list above please! 😊
Could probably use libglew1.5-dev instead of freeglut3-dev. It is an open question whether or not libxt-dev and libpng3-dev is required.
Not Strictly Required Dependencies Copy to clipboard sudo apt-get install nvidia-cg-toolkit libois-dev libboost-thread-dev
 While nvidia-cg-toolkit, libois-dev and libboost-thread-dev are not strictly required, you'll want to install them:
- nvidia-cg-toolkit is used by the Cg plugin for Cg shaders.
- libois-dev is used as input library for the demos.
- libboost-thread-dev is used by the paging component and other background threading.
