Irrlicht 0.7 working fine on FreeBSD 5.2.1

Post by Guest »

Hello folks!

I just wanted to say Irrlicht 0.7 builds and runs fine on FreeBSD 5.2.1. http://www.dose.se/~elvis/FreeBSD-5.2.1-Makefile.patch is a small patch to source/Irrlicht/Makefile to make it work.

Just make sure the zlib and jpeglib that comes with Irrlicht are rebuilt by typing gmake clean and gmake -f makefile.ansi clean in source/Irrlicht/zlib and source/Irrlicht/jpeglib respectively. Then just type gmake in source/Irrlicht to build Irrlicht. All the examples and the Techdemo (apart from sound) works fine for me (using OpenGL with an old Geforce2 Go, so the pixel shaders won't work of course).

Best regards,
Aron Stansvik

Those r great news!!!!

It's pretty exciting to know Irrlicht is so portable. It would be cool if you posted some screenshots of the engine running in your OS.

-a bit off topic: what's FreeBSD like? is it like linux? is it complicated to learn-run? has it got good software (and specially, 3d-programming software)? Does it run Windowss apps?

thnx!!!
