Ubuntu 8.04 Quick-n-Dirty compile from source tutorial

Svenstaro · Post by **Svenstaro** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 8:06 am

Ogre3D 1.4.7 and major dependencies from source on a fresh Ubuntu Hardy (8.04)

This tutorial will eventually go on the wiki, I only want to debug it before it does.

I will not do a lot of explaining here and will assume that you know what each command does or at least know how to look it up. This is a guide to get you up and running as fast as possible on Ubuntu.

* Go to some directory you have write access to.
cd ~/Desktop

* Uncomment all Ubuntu repositories in sources.list.
sudo nano /etc/sources.list

* Run apt-get update.
sudo apt-get update

* Install necessary packages.
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool libzzip-dev libxt-dev libxaw-headers libxxf86vm-dev libxrandr-dev libfreeimage-dev nvidia-cg-toolkit checkinstall libfreetype6-dev libpcre3-dev libdevil-dev libxaw7-dev libopenexr-dev libtiff-dev libglade2-dev libglademm-2.4-dev

* Fetch OIS.
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wgois/ois_1.2.0.tar.gz

* Extract OIS source package.
tar xzf ois_1.2.0.tar.gz

* Change dir to ois.
cd ois

* Run aclocal
aclocal

* Run ./bootstrap.
./bootstrap

* Run ./configure
./configure

* Build it.
make

* Install it.
sudo make install

* Change back dir
cd ..

* Fetch the CEGUI source package.
wget wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/crayze ... 6.0.tar.gz

* Extract the source.
tar xzf CEGUI-0.6.0.tar.gz

* Change into extracted dir.
cd CEGUI-0.6.0

* Run aclocal.
aclocal

* Run ./bootstrap.
./bootstrap

* Run ./configure.
./configure

* Build.
make

* Install it.
sudo make install

* Change back dir.
cd ..

* Fetch the Ogre3D source package.
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ogre/o ... -7.tar.bz2

* Extract the source.
tar xjf ogre-linux_osx-v1-4-7.tar.bz2

* Change into extracted dir.
cd ogrenew

* Run aclocal.
aclocal

* Run ./bootstrap.
./bootstrap

* Run ./configure.
./configure

* Build it.
make

* Install it.
sudo make install

* Run ldconfig
sudo ldconfig

If it all ran fine you now have a dirty (but quick) source-compiled installation of Ogre3D, congratulations!
The demos are located at <ogrenew>/Samples/Common/bin/

Enjoy.

Good stuff. Love the no nonsense directions.

Some problems on the way:

I had some problems with autoconf/automake. Don't remember how I solved it, but i think I did.

There were some packets that had other names, like zziplib-dev and libxaw-headers that I couldn't find.

Then I also had to install g++ to be able to compile.

It seems to have compiled properly now, but I can't get the samples to run. Any ideas?

EDIT: I got it to work! =)

Thanks. The reward is that you'll have to test my new game that I'll make! =)

Thanks, corrected my errors. Was missing build-essential and misspelled libzzip-dev. Libxaw-headers is correct though, what was your trouble there?

I don't remember. I can find it if I search for it now. Maybe I got confused in.

Complete newbie to ubuntu. =) So thanks again.

I got about halfway through the CEGui make, before failing due to some missing libs.

Solved it by installing libtiff-dev:

sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev

Svenstaro · Post by **Svenstaro** » Thu May 01, 2008 7:48 pm

Added libtiff-dev

Svenstaro · Post by **Svenstaro** » Fri May 02, 2008 5:51 pm

Okay about to put this into the Wiki, does anybody have any objections? Should I put more explainations in it?

No objections here. This got me straight up and running nicely. It was certainly a lot easier to follow than some of the other tutorials.

I've put it in the Wiki and cleaned up the old Ubuntu stuff.

Hi,

I tried to build ogre 1.4.7 from source using this tutorial, but i get the following error on sudo make install:

Code: Select all

Any ideas?

Thanks

Doesn't sound like a error from missing libs, much rather sounds like you're using strange compiler settings or your Ogre source isn't complete.

Seems like the OpenGL RenderSystem failed to link, which might be caused by the OpenGL development libraries not being present on your system. The corresponding package in Ubuntu is 'libgl1-mesa-dev'. It is not listed in Svenstaro's instructions, but he might've assumed most developers would have that package by default.

Also, when compiling Ogre I am required to install the 'libglade2-dev' and 'libglademm-2.4-dev' packages. While I'm at it, 'libdevil-dev' is not necessary anymore AFAIK, since DevIL was replaced by FreeImage, and both OIS and CEGUI can be retrieved from the Ubuntu package repositories, although those are older versions of course.

andik · Post by **andik** » Sat May 03, 2008 5:57 pm

Thanks for your replies. The installation worked without further problems using cdkeito's install script.

Svenstaro · Post by **Svenstaro** » Sat May 03, 2008 8:15 pm

Added the suggested packages to thead and wiki.

Amenothep · Post by **Amenothep** » Tue May 06, 2008 11:50 am

Thanks that worked on my 64bit

I only got this warning
aclocal:acinclude.m4:352: warning: macro `AM_PATH_CPPUNIT' not found in aclocal:acinclude.m4

http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/Trouble- ... 90607.html

but it didn't lead to any troubles as in above thread.

allen · Post by **allen** » Fri May 09, 2008 3:58 am

Also got the same warning as above:
aclocal:acinclude.m4:352: warning: macro `AM_PATH_CPPUNIT' not found in aclocal:acinclude.m4

It didn't stop me from continuing either, so I doesn't seem too important.

When I followed the wiki, there was a package listed twice: libglade2-dev.

I made a Contribution.

Svenstaro · Post by **Svenstaro** » Fri May 09, 2008 12:40 pm

Fixed, also the warning can be ignored I guess. Though it might be cool if a dev could have a look at this.

When I do the 'make install', I just get a bunch of boost-related errors:

Shadows.o: In function `boost::detail::thread::lock_ops<boost::recursive_mutex>::lock(boost::recursive_mutex&)':
/usr/include/boost/thread/detail/lock.hpp:33: undefined reference to `boost::recursive_mutex::do_lock()'
Shadows.o: In function `boost::detail::thread::lock_ops<boost::recursive_mutex>::unlock(boost::recursive_mutex&)':
/usr/include/boost/thread/detail/lock.hpp:45: undefined reference to `boost::recursive_mutex::do_unlock()'

Funny, since I've got the boost threading library installed...

Thanks!

cdkeito · Post by **cdkeito** » Sat May 10, 2008 1:37 pm

even with my script ?

FlyingIsFun1217 · Post by **FlyingIsFun1217** » Sat May 10, 2008 3:19 pm

Didn't try your script, but... added an .m4 package from the OGRE download, and all worked just fine.

Thanks for the nice guide!

I got the same error on Debian Unstable i686:

libtool: install: error: relink `RenderSystem_GL.la' with the above command before installing it

I'll try your script tonight, but I have a question.

Do I need to uninstall the ogre1.4.7 to build 1.4.8? How could I do it?

Thanks!

cdkeito · Post by **cdkeito** » Thu May 15, 2008 9:08 pm

just build it!
with the above procedure ogre is not "dpkg installed".
Suggestion, build it without installing it. After look into those debs to see where they'll go, the rest is up to you decide.

Please remember the script is for ubuntu, for other distros, packets might change name or availability.
