Debian 9 (Stretch)

Hey guys!
Average Linux user here! (Debian 9, a.k.a. "Stretch").
Just recently found out my all time favorite game is playable on Linux through your amazing project OpenMW. Gave installing it a shot (tried building from source) but failed because of bullet physics version outdated. From what I can tell OpenMW requires v. 286 (at least the latest OpenMW does) and Debian 9 only has 283.
Has anyone managed installing under Debian 9?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: hope this question hasn't been answered before, tried searching your forums but no results.

Have you tried experimental? bullet (2.86.1+dfsg-1)
https://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/bullet
You don't have to switch your install to that, just download the necessary packages and use dpkg to install.

Thanks for your reply!
I got past the Bullet-error by downloading and compiling the source.
Now the compiler gives me:
Code: Select all
[ 0%] Linking CXX static library libosg-ffmpeg-videoplayer.a
[ 0%] Built target osg-ffmpeg-videoplayer
[ 1%] Linking CXX static library libosgQt.a
[ 1%] Built target osgQt
Makefile:127: recipe for target ”all” failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
Guessing it's got something to do with openscenegraph?
EDIT: Nevermind, turns out my openscenegraph version is what is required (3.4). No idea what is causing this error

Can you please provide the full output of the build rather then just the parts you think might be relevant? Because to me it seems the problem appeared already before the part that you posted.

You didn't need to compile bullet from scratch, you just needed to download the debs:
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/libbullet-dev
the packages per arch are located near the bottom of the page.

Thank you for your replies!
Got it working by building bullet 2.86 and then installing the debs from sid (after downloading from the Debian site).
Now I can play my favorite game again!
Thanks guys!

Managed to start compiling by installing bullet from the experimental. But won't it create a frankendebian system? Thank you for making openmw! This project is so great. I wish I could program better to participate...
