Use mingw to compile ogre-1.7.1

How to Build ogre-1.7.1 with mingw

1. Download

Http://bitbucket.org/sinbad/ogre

Use tortoisehg to clone source repository to D:/prj/ogre.
Http://www.ogre3d.org/download/source

Get mingw precompiled dependencies.
Http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

Get cmake Installer (cmake-* -win32-x86.exe ).
Http://www.boost.org

Get boost.
Http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/resultsForCategory.aspx? Categoryid = 2

Get latest DirectX SDK.
Http://www.doxygen.org

Get doxygen installer.
Http://www.graphviz.org

Get graphviz installer.
Http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html

Get freeimage source.

2. Prepare
. Install dxsdk, doxygen, graphviz.
. Build and install boost to C:/boost.
. Clone a working copy to D:/prj/ogre/v1-7.
D:
Hg clone/prj/ogre/v1-7
CD/prj/ogre/v1-7
. Import patches if necessary, using "Hg import path_to_patch_file ".
. Create a build directory.
Mkdir/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7
. Unpack mingw precompiled dependencies, I. e. ogredependencies_mingw_20100216.zip, to/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7.
//////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////
Optional:
# If 0
. Remove * freeimage * files under D:/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/dependecies.
. Unpack freeimage source to D:/prj.
. Build as static library, copy files to dependency directories:
D:
CD/prj/freeimage
Set freeimage_library_type = static
Make-J3> build. log 2> & 1
Copy Dist/freeimage. h/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/dependencies/include/
Copy Dist/freeimage. A/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/dependencies/lib/release/
Copy Dist/freeimage. A/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/dependencies/lib/debug/
# Endif
//////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////

3. Run cmake
. Set "where is the source code:" to "D:/prj/ogre/v1-7 ".
. Set "where to build the Binaries:" to "D:/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7 ".
. Click "Configure" button.
. Choose "Eclipse cdt4-mingw makefiles", or "mingw makefiles" w/o eclipse.
. Choose "use default native compilers ".
. Click "finish" button.
. Switch to "Advanced View", set cmake entries values:
Cmake_make_program: filepath = make
Cmake_sh: filepathcmd.exe
Cmake_use_relative_paths: bool = on
. Click "Configure" button.
. Verify/modify the following entries:
Boost_include_dir: Path = C:/Boost/include (default)
Cmake_build_type: String = relwithdebinfo (default)
Cmake_eclipse_executable: filepath = C:/program files/Eclipse/eclipse.exe (if w/eclipse)
//////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////
Optional:
# If 0
Cmake_exe_linker_flags: String =-wl, -- enable-auto-Import
Cmake_module_linker_flags: String =-wl, -- enable-auto-Import
Cmake_shared_linker_flags: String =-wl, -- enable-auto-Import
# Endif
//////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////
Cmake_verbose_makefile: bool = on
Ogre_dependencies_dir: Path = D:/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/Dependencies
Ogre_install_docs: bool = on (optional if doxygen installed)
Ogre_install_samples: bool = on
Zlib_library_dbg: filepath = D:/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/dependencies/lib/debug/libzlibd.
Zlib_library_rel: filepath = D:/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/dependencies/lib/release/libzlib.
. Click "Configure" button.
. Click "generate" button.

4. Compile
D:
CD, prj, ogre, build, ogre-1.7
Set lang = en_us
Make-J3 install> build. log 2> & 1
Copy C:/Boost/lib/libboost_thread-* Mt. dll/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/SDK/bin/relwithdebinfo/
. Now Ogre SDK in D:/prj/ogre/build-ogre-1.7/SDK.
