!!!How to setup and compile Ogre
This tutorial will cover the basic setup and compilation of Ogre for the rest of the Tutorials. Directory Setup For these Tutorials we will be creating our own directory structure. Create the following directories using DOS or Windows explorer.
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials{MONO}
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\Bin\Debug{MONO}
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\Bin\Release{MONO}
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\Bin\Media{MONO}
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\Common{MONO}

!!!!Getting Ogre
There are three ways you can get Ogre.
# Download a stable version of Ogre's source code from [http://www.ogre3d.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=412&Itemid=132|here].
# Download a stable version of Ogre as a prebuilt sdk from [http://www.ogre3d.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=411&Itemid=131|here].
# Download Ogre directly from CVS. The instructions for doing this are found at [http://www.ogre3d.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=415&Itemid=144|here].

After downloading Ogre, you will need to also download the a precompiled dependencies package. These are found 
[http://www.ogre3d.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=412&Itemid=132|here]. There are seperate downloads for Visual C++ 2003, 2005, 2008, Code::Blocks/MingW and OSX. You only need the one which matches the compiler you are using.

!!!!Compiling Ogre
If you downloaded a ZIP you can now unzip Ogre into our directory. If you used CVS and put it someplace else, move or copy the OgreNew directory to ours. In the end you should have {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew{MONO}. Now unzip the dependencies into {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials{MONO}. If it was done right, there now should be a directory at {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Dependencies{MONO}.

Using VC++, Open up the Ogre solution found in {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew{MONO}. If everything was setup properly, at this time you should be able to compile the whole workspace in debug and release modes. Once compiled, you can go to {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Samples\common\bin\debug{MONO} or {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Samples\common\bin\release{MONO} and you will find a whole load of demo executables. Run them, look though them.

The last part of this tutorial is copying the appropriate files for the rest of the tutorials. Using Windows explorer we need to copy the DLLs and Plugins.cfg from {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Samples\common\bin\debug{MONO} to {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\bin\debug{MONO} And {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Samples\common\bin\release{MONO} to {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\bin\release{MONO}.

Using file explorer copy the following files to {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\Common{MONO}
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Samples\Common\Include\ExampleApplication.h{MONO}
* {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\OgreNew\Samples\Common\Include\ExampleFrameListener.h{MONO}

Using file explorer copy the DLLs from {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\Ogrenew\dependancies\Devil\libs{MONO} to {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\bin\debug{MONO}.

Now open the file {MONO()}C:\OgreTutorials\bin\debug\ogre.cfg{MONO} in a text editor, and change the option "Full Screen" to have the value "No". This wil make it easier to debug programs.

Now we can step ahead to ((Tutorial 2))
