Introduction

Once you've set up a build environment, you can start playing around with the code and start compiling Python-Ogre's or your own modules.

Why

Why would you want to compile python-ogre when there are binaries available or nice build scripts that do that for you?

  • If you want a specific version of any library (eg, you want ogre 1.4.x while the binary ships with ogre 1.6.x)
  • If you would like to apply certain patches to various python-ogre supported libraries and use that in your project.
  • If you would like to wrap a (currently) unsupported library or your own C++ code.
  • Or, you would just like to learn how the entire process works.

What is needed

You'll need to set up the build environment, meaning all dependencies, tools and of course, the python-ogre source. Check the wiki for instructions.

Extra Instructions

Each module can be compiled with the BuildModule.py script but some require aditional manual intervention. Check CompilingExtra for more information
