[Solved] Confused Newbie: Compiling PLSM2 on Linux

I've installed Ogre(1.2.3) from source and it's working OK. I'm now trying to install paginglandscape but am not sure of the correct approach.
The wiki seems to indicate that everything is built in /ogreaddons/paginglandscape/. This worked after I added #include "OgrePagingLandscapeData2D.h to OgrePagingLandScapeAxisAlignedBoxSceneQuery.cpp and a copy of ExampleApplication.h & ExampleFrameListener.h to /Samples/Common/include/.
Further reading in the forum suggests what I should have done was to copy the contents of Plugins, Samples (excluding MapEditor) & Tools from /addons/paginglandscape/ to the same directories in ogrenew. So I downloaded a new copy of paginglandscape from CVS and did the copying and added #include as above. I also copied IPLSceneManager.cfg, paginglandscape2.cfg, Plugins_plsm2.cfg & resources_plsm2.cfg from /paginglandscape/Samples/Common/bin/Debug to /ogrenew/Samples/Common/bin/Debug. I addedPaginglandscape2 to SUBDIRS in makefile.am in /ogrenew/Samples/ & /ogrenew/Plugins, MapSplitter to /ogrenew/Tools and finally changed makefile.am in ogrenew/ to read pkgconfig_DATA=OGRE-Plugin-PLSM2.pc.
When I Bootstrap, configure, make all goes well until it exits with the following:-
Making all in PagingLandScape2
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/john/ogrenew/PlugIns/PagingLandScape2'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/john/ogrenew/PlugIns/PagingLandScape2'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/ogrenew/PlugIns'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

So my question is which method is correct and if it's the second version what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.........

I haven't had a reply so that makes me think that either
a) I didn't phrase my question properly. Basically it is should I compile paginglandscape as a stand alone project or from within ogrenew.
or
b) Everybody else on this forum are MS users and are too busy trying to get Vista to work
or
c) Your attitude is " I worked it out by myself & so can you"
or
d) My question is so stupid & basic it's not worth answering

Thanks again, and I really would like some help.

Two things. First, not everyone is around all the time, wait at least 3 days.
Second, I havn't compiled on anything sans VC7.1, so I couldn't help with that either. What are you compiling it with?

The command you typed was
make all

Try...
make

From the command line I'm doing:-
bootstrap && ./configure && make . Then su checkinstall to build a Debian package so that everything is easy to remove if necessary.
Thanks for the tip about waiting 3 days for a reply. I'll remember that in future but things get a bit boring down here waiting for it to rain.

Thanks..........

Isn't it usually make install anyway? Well, at least on my BSD system... Dont' know what PLSM2 does for its build orders...

Yes it is usual to 'make install' but by using checkinstall ( separate programme, do a google to find more about it) you end up with a package ( Slackware, RPM or Deb) which can be uninstalled very easily.

I think that I've partially solved my original problem. I've got a directory structure:-
/Ogre/
/Ogre/ogrenew/
/Ogre/paginglandscape/
paginglandscape now compiles and installs OK but when I try ./MapSplitter or ./PagingLandScape as per Wiki I get the error "error while loading shared libraries: libOgreMain.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" which is odd because the file is certainly there in /usr/local/lib.
Any help, suggestions or pointers gratefully received as I'm determined to crack this problem ( By then PLSM3 will probably be out and I'll have to start all over again )

Meh, I like BSD's ports the best, the granddaddy of em all.

As long as your system doesn't keep crashing and there's plenty of software to chose from I guess it doesn't matter what OS you use. I migrated to Linux a few years ago and haven't looked back. Maybe sometime in the future I'll see what BSD has to offer.
I can now run Mapsplitter & PagingLandScape as per wiki but they both crash!
For MapSplitter the message is:-

Am I right in thinking that a library path is missing? I've tried putting copies of 'resources_plsm2.cfg' in every likely directory without any effect so at the moment I'm stuck again.
HELP!.

I've finally got the beast to work, well mapSplitter anyway. If I try ./PagingLandScape2 it loads the Ogre configure dialogue but then when I try to select a renderer it crashes with the error "Shell widget menu has zero width and/or height". Also while loading, plugins_plsm2.cfg isn't recognised :-

Is this normal?

I've now got everything working. I've written my solution, for what it's worth, in the Paging Scene Manager wiki,
