Compile Irrlicht on Linux

Post by Mildred (not yet registr) »

I had some problems to compile Irrlicht under linux (ubuntu).
I think it is a good idea if there is somewhere in a readme file what are the depandancies:
I actually need to install:
- g++
- libglut3-dev

g++ is the GNU C++ compiler, you'll need it for compiling anything written in C++, which includes the Irrlicht engine. It should be common sense hthat you need a C++ compiler to compile a C++ program.

As for libglut3-dev, I wasn't aware that Irrlicht used GLUT at all. Maybe ubuntu packages some of the other GL/GLX headers in the glut package as well. I think this is a specialist case for ubuntu,.
