where the !"£$%^& are the sdl includes?

when i compile ogrenewt in debut i get these errors:

somting tells me i don't have sdl, but
(a) sdl wtf?
(b) where are thay?

Not SDL, Ogre itself. The SDL you see is an enum in Ogre controlling the camera's render detail level (SDL most likely stands for Scene Detail Level). This function and enum has changed in the dagon release to be PolygonMode.

Given this information I can assume now that you are using Dagon. There are two fixes, since there are actually two problems. First, delete the copy of ExampleFramelistener and ExampleApplication that comes with OgreNewt. This forces it to use the ones from Dagon, which are updated. Next, open the file ogrenewt_debugger and look near the top for a macro having to do with Dagon. I forget the name. You must compile WITH THIS DEFINED. So, in your compilers preprocessor settings (command-line or whatever) define this macro. Then, recompile, come back, and claim victory.

is the macro _OGRENEWT_DEBUGGER_DAGON ?

yes

i am still getting 14 errors

delete

c:\ogrenewt\demos\include\exampleframelistener.h

and

c:\ogrenewt\demos\include\exampleapplication.h


and make sure you have the newest version of OgreNewt.

And make sure your compiler knows where the REAL Ogre example files are. They may not be in the same directory as the library (OgreMain) since they are not really official library files. Make sure either they are there, or that you don't compile them (OgreNewt's main library shouldn't need them either).

i managed to find an updated version of ogrenewt on my pc but now it cant find line3d.h

what are all of the include dirs needed for ogrenewt?

please do the following:

1. redownload OgreNewt to make sure you have the newest version.
2. delete your existing OgreNewt directory, and replace with the newly downloaded version.
3. Try compiling OgreNewt (including the demos).

if you get errors still, please post them.

what libs\dirs do i need?

you need:

OGRE
Newton
OgreNewt

and tinyxml if you want to compile the ragdoll demo.


in addition to everything you need for a standard Ogre app, for OgreNewt you will need to include
ogrenewt/OgreNewt_Main/inc
NewtonSDK/sdk/

and you will need to link to
OgreNewt_Main.lib / OgreNewt_Main_d.lib (ogrenewt/OgreNewt_Main/lib/release or debug)
newton.lib (NewtonSDK/sdk/dll)

i have linked and know i am getting theses errors:

Why don't compilers just work!!!

you are very close.

now add "line3d.cpp" to your PROJECT so it compiles with the project. you can find this file in ogrenewt/demos/include.

yes, in your face msvc!!!!
