Steps for Building a New Ogre App Totally from Scratch

For Windows

Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010 (if you don't have it)
Download and install Microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2010)
Download and decompress the OGRE 1.7.3 Source For Windows (this should create the folder “ogre_src_v1-7-3”)
Download Microsoft Visual C++ Dependencies Package, unzip it, and place the folder “Dependencies” inside “ogre_src_v1-7-3”
Build the “ogre_src_v1-7-3\Dependencies\src\OgreDependencies.VS2010.sln” solution
Download and install CMake (Recommend “Add CMake to the system PATH” option)
Run “CMake (cmake-gui)”
1. Browse to “ogre_src_v1-7-3” to enter location of source code
2. Create and browse to a separate directory for the built binaries, e.g. “ogre_built”
3. Press “Configure” and pick your target compiler (i.e. Visual C++ Express 2010) (when done, you see new configuration variables in red)
4. Press “Configure” again (configuration variables turn gray)
5. Press “Generate”
Go to your “ogre_built” directory and build the “OGRE.sln” solution
1. If this build goes well, you can test the Ogre examples by running “SampleBrowser_d.exe” under “ogre_built\bin\debug” (if built with the debug configuration)
