Development  »  Creating SDK

This page describes the process for creating an OGRE SDK for release, based on OGRE 1.7 or later.

MS Visual C++

Prerequisites

You need the following before you start:

1. CMake 2.8.0+ on your path
2. Doxygen on your path
3. BOOST_ROOT environment variable defined, pointing at your boost install
4. DXSDK_DIR environment variable must point at the DirectX SDK you wish to build against

Creating the SDK

1. Open a command prompt
2. Run vcvars32.bat for your compiler of choice.
3. Checkout a clean working copy of OGRE at the release tag (e.g. v1-7-0) as folder 'ogre'
4. Change directory to ogre/SDK/Win32
5. Set the OGRE_DEPENDENCIES_DIR environment variable to point at the location of OGRE dependencies matching your intended compiler / architecture
6. Run: "buildsdk <compiler> ", where <compiler> is one of:
7. * vc71
8. * vc8
9. * vc8_x64
10. * vc9
11. * vc9_x64
12. * vc10
13. * vc10_x64
14. The SDK will now be built in a subfolder called the same as the supplied <compiler> option.
15. Once the SDK has been built, simply zip up the contents of ogre/SDK/Win32/ <compiler> /sdk and release
