[solved] Compiling PLSM2 against Ogre 1.4.9 on Ubuntu 8.04

Hi guys!

I have a problem with the compilation of PLSM2 against Ogre 1.4.9 on Ubuntu 8.04 (AMD64 architecture): it seems that g++ can't find the "OgreOctreeSceneManager.h" header file.

Here's the g++ shell output:

(sorry for any line in Italian...)

The static and dynamic libraries of the OctreeSceneManager plugins are present under the /usr/local/lib/OGRE directory...

...but it seems that PLSM doesn't care about them. I asked on the main Ogre forum if OgreOctreeSceneManager.h should go into the /usr/local/OGRE directory, but they said it should not. I don't know what to do... can someone help me, please?

Thank you!!!

I didn't use Ubuntu but I tried on linux AMD64. If you compiled Ogre from its source, the "make install" won't copy over OgreOctreeSceneManager.h etc. because your Ogre application won't need those. But compiling PLSM2 from source does need that header.

You may either copy the header over manually, or probably just add -D_PLSM_OCTREE to Makefile (see http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/view ... 8864dd8326).

Thanks so much for your answer! I'll try this out and let you know how it went!

It worked!!!! Thanks again!
