Building Ogre under CentOS 5.4 64-bit

[jesko]

Hello,

now I'm on CentOS 5.4 64-bit ...

I DL graphic card driver from nvidia, ogre src, boost (rpm package), cmake, freetype, freeimage zlib, zziplib and build them ... so far so good.

When I go into the ogre src directory and call cmake on it, there are still a few important dependencies not fulfilled (X11, Xt, Xaw). Furthermore there are optional dependencies not fulfilled (OpenGL ES, cg, boost, boost-thread, boost-date_time, POCO(?), tbb OIS, CppUnit).



1st) Can anybody please tell me in clear words(!) how to install boost that cmake can find it - or how to configure cmake that it can find boost ?
2nd) What package(s) should I install to fulfill the X-requirements (is there a way to install them without crashing current installation?) ?


ANY help appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

After neverending searches I have found how the packages for x-support under CentOS 5.4 64-bit are named and how to install:

Code: Select all

yum install libXt-devel libXaw-devel libX11-devel

Hope this helps somebody.

Now cmake doesn't complain anymore about missing important dependencies, but

Code: Select all

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
X11_Xrandr_LIB (ADVANCED)
    linked by target "RenderSystem_GL" in directory /usr/local/src/ogre_src_v1-7-1/RenderSystems/GL

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

So it has still errors ...
Does someone know what to do now ?

[jacmoe]

package 'Cg' not found

package 'OIS' not found

package 'zziplib' not found

etc.

Here's a list of dependencies:

Hello jacmoe,

this dependencies are only optional ... which means I don't need it to get it compiled - or am I wrong here ?

After having installed

Code: Select all

yum install libXrandr-devel

I got 'cmake' running fine ... ok so far, but now doing a 'make' I get (after 50% of compile)

Code: Select all

make

does anybody know ?

I find it difficult to resolve all dependencies on CentOS, because I have installed most of the 'optional' packages but they are simply not recognized ...

Does anybody have suggestions to use a different linux distribution (still 64 bit) which works better ?
Or is there a reason why binary packages for 64 bit linux is not provided ?

[To explain the 64bit thing: We want to store and handle models of 40-500M triangles within OGRE; currently we have a machine here with 16GB memory, a nVidia GTX480 and 2 quadcore processors; with carefully chosen LOD levels it should be possible to render those models at very high frame rates on 640x480 or 1920x1080]
