Help installing OpenMW on Ubuntu 10.10 using the .deb file!

I've already solicited help over at Ubuntu Forums, and was hoping maybe somebody here was already familiar with the problem. Or maybe, maybe the problem is me. In fact, that's likely too.

Here's my other post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720957

Any help is appreciated. This looks like a very cool project and I'm excited to get it running on my machine so I can start submitting bug reports!

This is not an acceptable response. Either our .deb is broken, or the original poster has Ogre installed wrong.

Ninwa, where is your Ogre installed from?

The package is for Debian (sid) not for Ubuntu so that's not really surprising.

You are misreading the dependency list, it depends on libogremain-1.7.1 (>= 1.7.1-1), so it depends on ogre 1.7.1 but will accept newer versions of 1.7.1 not 1.7.2.

If you want it to work with ogre 1.7.2 you will have to build it.

I read your thread on ubuntuforums, and I see where you got Ogre from now. Yes, you'll need a 1.7.1 Ogre like Peppe said above.

Don't mind me. :P

I mean, it's better for testing purpose anyway. I didn't mean not to solve problem with deb package.

Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you! :( I agree testing fresher code is better, but a working .deb means more testing will get done period, especially later in development when it's going to be critical.
Ninwa wrote: Hey guys, thank you for all of your responses! I indeed would have been reading the dependency list incorrectly. I will try installing a version >= 1.7.1-1 now and promise to let you know if I can get it working! Thanks again, and look forward to checking out OpenMW :)

I checked Ogre's website to see if there are any minor revisions that would make it (>= 1.7.1-1) http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre/files/ogre/1.7/ and it seems there aren't, at least without really digging.

I'm going to try my hand at packaging a new .deb file to work with 1.7.2 (the latest release) if possible, although 1.6.4 might be preferable because it's in the standard Ubuntu 10.10 repository. Not being familiar with the project I'm not sure what it will and wont compile with.

Cheers,
Ninwa

I was able to get OpenMW built properly. There is a problem with openmw.cfg, but I notice it's already in the tracker. Thanks for the help!

Edit: I've built a working .deb package, posted it in a new thread so that it would be more easily seen.

As I wrote previously this is not really surprising, the package is not meant for Ubuntu.

The -1 is the package revision not ogre revision, so if ogre 1.7.1 is by some reason repackaged it would be -2.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. :)
