Hi,
I've downloaded all NxOgre 1.0 files from nxogre.org and i've installed PhysX 2.8.0 too. So, now i don't know how i can use the this libraries. I've downloaded the .bat file, and i've put that in my principal ogre directory:

C:\OgreSDK\

But the .bat dosen't work.. Anyone can help me to setting up my first application with Visual C++ 2005 Express and NxOgre?

Thanks a lot.. (sorry for my bad english).

as far as I know only nxogre 0.9 is stable right now. So since you are a rookie like me, you would like to start working with the stable version.

do the following to get your SDKs ready.

install visual studio 2005.
install VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU for visual studio 2005.

install OgreSDKSetup1.4.7_VC80p1 software dev. kit.
use ogresdkwizard80_Eihort_v1_4_2 to automatically configure visual studio to create OGRE projects.

now you will be able to compile OGRE projects.

to compile nxogre
first install PhysX_2.7.3_SDK_Core
then install PhysX_8.02.13_SystemSoftware

install TortoiseSVN-1.4.8.12137-win32-svn-1.4.6 and download source code of nxogre.
then click to its solution file and compile it in VS2005.
(if you have problems with unregistered environment variables configure them or take a look in compile issues topic.)

after you compile nxogre download cakebox.zip which contains a basic example about the usage of nxogre.
From now on you may follow the cake thread on the forum.

What nord said. It's a long process, but it's also needed to set up Ogre too.

@kidcdf

I would say NxOgre 1.0 is more stable than 0.9, I've been working longer on the code, and I test it more. It's faster than 0.9 and I've never seen it crash due to general usage.
