Hello,
I am trying to install the latest version of OpenMW on Linux Debian Jessie and I cannot seem to get even close to it.
I've tried installing it via Github and cmake, but I run into dependency errors, and when I try to install it via the terminal and apt-get, I get slightly less dependency erros.
My only other resort was to try an install from the Synaptic package manager, which has also failed due to dependency errors.
I've exhausted the Internet searching for these packages that openmw depends on, but there's no where I can seem to find the packages I need!
Here is a screenshot from the package manager of what errors on dependencies I encountered.
Is it possible that I need another repository to get them?
Thanks!

Re: Installing OpenMW Dependency Problem
I don't think the current openmw can work on Jessie (lots of missing libraries), and there is no Debian package for Jessie.
Easiest fix would be to install a stretch (or sid) chroot using debbootstrap:
https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
Then you can just enter the chroot and do "apt-get install openmw" and it will install.
or something like this
Alternatively, you can add the stretch repositories and use apt-pinning to make sure Jessie's packages have priority:

Code: Select all
mkdir openmw
debootstrap --include=openmw stretch ./openmw
[ let it do its thing ]
chroot openmw /bin/bash
openmw

Debian is screwed until OSG 3.4 is uploaded. Tracking here:

Not really, OSG-3.4 in Debian (Stretch) / Ubuntu (Yakatty) and is no longer in experimental.
This has solved itself.

I still haven't gotten it to work on stable. I wonder if I'm missing something.

Re: Installing OpenMW Dependency Problem
Stretch isn't stable, yet.
OSG-3.4 isn't in Jessie (stable).
