Trying To Compile

Views

I have tried for a couple days to get the source code for Mr. Planet to compile so that I can then tinker around. I have run into numerous hurdles. For one I had to figure out how to download the source from subversion. I downloaded Tortoise SVN and eventually figured out how to get the source files onto my computer. I am used to using Perforce.

In terms of getting the code to compile I needed to change the project settings to include the ARToolkit .h's and .libs. I also needed to include the .h and lib directories for the OgreSDK. Ofcourse the OgreSDK that Raxo used is not the same one that I have on my machine so there are a bunch of errors because of this.

I was able to get the debug build to compile, but I had linked it with an OgreSDK which was built using VS2005 (Mr. Planet and ARToolKit are VS2003 projects) so this didn't work. I tried building the release build with an VS2003 OgreSDK, but I ran into a bunch of errors because the VS2003 OgreSDK version is not the same as the VS2005 OgreSDK. I tried getting previous versions of the SDK off the Ogre site, but it doesn't look like they are available.
