Contents
Requirements
-64bit Windows 7 SP1 or newer -at least 4GB RAM (2GB may work too, but not recommended) -at least 20GB HDD space on C: drive (Visual Studio needs lot of space)
Clean the environment
cmake has problems in makefiles with space characters in directory names like "c:\program files\", install everything without spaces!
To reduce problems:
- rename BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_INCLUDEDIR, BOOST_LIBRARYDIR environment variables.
- rename OGRE_HOME, OGRE_DEPENDENCIES_DIR environment variable.
After the build of the dependencies, you can rename it back.
if you find any other conflicts, please update the list.
