I can't build from source anymore, I attach the log. Looks like there is some sort of issue with
header files of OSG, they seem to lack something OpenMW expects. I tried with your custom
fork and with vanilla OSG -- result is the same.

Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

Why you have headers in /usr/local/include? Package managers usually place files in /usr/include.
Can you post an output of command:
Also can you build an older code or no? If yes, can you do bisect?

That command finds some relevant files. I think when you build manually everything is installed in
/usr/local/, at least OpenMW certainly installs itself there with sudo make install. On the other hand,
when I install OpenMW via package manager, it goes into /usr/.

Previously I installed OpenMW with package manager and then built it myself, so perhaps that how
it was able to find header files it needed. I'll try the same now.

I build according to the instructions for developers:

<pre>
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make
$ sudo make install
</pre>

OK, I think OpenMW build script got confused because I built and installed scawl's custom forked OSG, and it went into
/usr/local, just like OpenMW itself. I think it's not possible to use that fork for me. To fix things, I uninstalled that fork:
Then I installed the proper OSG from my package manager and did make clean. It succeeded. I think it should be noted
that OpenMW does not build properly with that custom fork as it misses the necessary headers.

It builds just fine with the custom OSG. Have you tried configuring with the proper prefix instead of using the default that goes to /usr/local ?

The OSG from your package manager are more than likely the ones made by me and yes I had to set the proper prefix location.

Regardless, Scrawl's OSG fork is on the PPA anyway. I built it so you don't have to.

Thanks for the clarification! I'll try to get it working once again.

Just a note - you should avoid to use "make install" (it is a very bad practice - it lead to problems when you want to remove/update package). You should make a package for your package manager instead (checkinstall for Debian/Ubuntu, rpmbuild for SUSE, write a ebuild for Gentoo etc.), or launch from build folder at least.

make install for OSG installs headers into /usr/local/include, and libraries in /usr/local/lib64 on 64 bit systems. However, it installs pkg_config files marked to look in /usr/local/lib, my usual workaround is to symlink /usr/local/lib64 to /usr/local/lib. That'll make certain that the libraries go into the expected location.
