Compiling Python-Ogre on Ubuntu 13.04

Well, I've just used two days now trying to compile Python-Ogre on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit, and after a bunch of hackish fixes and changes to make things work I got stuck. So this will be partly an tutorial on how to get where I got, aswell as a pledge for help with the last part. Heres what I did so far:

SEE POST BELOW THIS ONE FOR BUILD INSTRUCTIONS!
Do not use this post for instructions!

Requirements:
Installed everything from the 00-PreReqs file manually:
sudo apt-get install automake1.9 libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev freeglut3-dev libtool libxaw7-dev libxxf86vm-dev patch libxrandr-dev cvs libxt-dev libexpat1-dev python-dev libglew-dev jam cmake libboost-thread-dev libboost-date-time-dev scons libfreeimage-dev libfreeimage3 libzzip-dev g++ libfreetype6-dev libpcre3-dev autoconf

Installed additional requirements missing:
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6 g++-4.6 libx11-6 libx11-dev libboost1.49-dev libboost-all-dev python-pygccxml python-py++

Got gccxml from repos instead of building it:
sudo apt-get install gccxml

Commented out line ~1899 in environment.py:
#moduleLibs = [ os.path.join(Config.PATH_LIB_hydrax, 'Hydrax')]

Replaced gcc and g++ in /usr/bin with the 4.6 versions:
cd /usr/bin; sudo mv gcc gccBCK; sudo mv g++ g++BCK; sudo cp gcc-4.6 gcc; sudo cp g++-4.6 g++

Recieved and built cg:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r cg
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b cg

OIS:
Recieved and configured OIS:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r ois
cd OIS; ./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include

Add -lX11 under LIBS in the OIS Makefile (./Makefile) and under Demos (./Demos/Makefile) aka:
Change LIBS line to:
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lX11

Added missing headers to OIS's LinuxJoyStickEvents.cpp:
#include <linux/input.h>
#include <unistd.h>

Make and install:
make; sudo make install

Ogre:
Recieve Ogrefiles:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r ogre

Compile Ogre without the buildscript:
tar jxf /home/anderen2/devo2/downloads/ogre_src_v1-7-2.tar.bz2 --overwrite
mv ogre_src_v1-7-2 ogre
export CXX=g++-4.6
cd ogre; cmake . -DOGRE_INSTALL_PLUGINS_HEADERS=TRUE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr
make; sudo make install

Python-Ogre Bindings
Here is where I stopped. I got the generation to work:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -g ogre --usesystem

But the compilation fails with an gigantic errorlog:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -c ogre --usesystem
Result in log.out: http://pastebin.com/t6Scp8tb

If I try to do it manually:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/anderen2/ogredev/ogre2/pkgconfig/
scons -j6 PROJECTS=ogre
Result in log.out: http://pastebin.com/S6aPHFjV

Any ideas?

Well, I got it compiling and working in the end. Though after I did compile it, I discovered that my precompiled version already had the thing I was compiling to get (OgreTerrain), which means I just wasted 10-15 hours on nothing. But well, here's how I compiled it, if anyone else is struggeling aswell:

NB: This should be done on an clean system! If you have tried to compile it before, remove everything before doing anything else.

Get dependencies:
# Get stuff from the 00-PreReqs manually
sudo apt-get install automake1.9 libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev freeglut3-dev libtool libxaw7-dev libxxf86vm-dev patch libxrandr-dev cvs libxt-dev libexpat1-dev python-dev libglew-dev jam cmake libboost-thread-dev libboost-date-time-dev scons libfreeimage-dev libfreeimage3 libzzip-dev g++ libfreetype6-dev libpcre3-dev autoconf

# Get additional dependencies (See http://www.cse.unr.edu/~lagoon/index.ph ... untu_12.04)
sudo apt-get install subversion libglew1.6-dev python-yaml libglm-dev libglfw-dev libcg nvidia-cg-toolkit gccxml libboost-python-dev

#Get additional dependencies
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6 g++-4.6 libx11-6 libx11-dev libboost1.49-dev libboost-all-dev gccxml

Replace gcc and g++ with the 4.6 versions (For some reason Ogre/OIS will not compile correctly with anything over 4.6)
cd /usr/bin; sudo mv gcc gccBCK; sudo mv g++ g++BCK; sudo cp gcc-4.6 gcc; sudo cp g++-4.6 g++

Build additonal dependencies
These dependencies exsist in the repo, but the repo ones are not compatible with the buildscript for python-ogre

Recieve pyplusplus:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r pyplusplus

Build pyplusplus
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b pyplusplus --usesystem

Recieve pygccxml
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r pygccxml

Build pygccxml
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b pygccxml

OIS:

Recieve and configure OIS:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r ois
cd OIS; ./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include

Fix error in OIS Makefile (ois/demos/Makefile):
#Change LIBS line to:
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lX11

Add missing headers to OIS (ois/src/linux/LinuxJoyStickEvents.cpp):
#include <linux/input.h>
#include <unistd.h>

Make and install OIS:
make; sudo make install

Ogre:
Recieve Ogrefiles:
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -r ogre

Compile Ogre without the buildscript:
cd downloads
tar jxf /home/anderen2/devo2/downloads/ogre_src_v1-7-2.tar.bz2 --overwrite
mv ogre_src_v1-7-2 ogre
export CXX=g++-4.6
cd ogre; cmake . -DOGRE_INSTALL_PLUGINS_HEADERS=TRUE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr
make; sudo make install

Python-Ogre Bindings
Generate the wrapper code for Ogre
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -g ogre --usesystem

Compile (NB: Takes a long time! Check for hangs/activity with ex. top)
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -c ogre --usesystem

Generate wrapper code for OIS
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -g ois --usesystem

Compile OIS
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -c ois --usesystem

Install the python-ogre wrapper
python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b install --usesystem

I successfully built this with Ubuntu Server 13.04 (raring) [with xorg] on VirtualBox

Surely someone else has built python-ogre on a 64 bit machine?

How much memory do you have? How may cores? What is your default version of gcc (why are you not using that)? You can switch between version of gcc with sudo update-alternatives --config gcc.

Let's start with the Ogre installation, what does the following show when run from a terminal.

>> pkg-config --cflags --libs --modversion OGRE
>> ldd /usr/lib/*OgreMain.so


Try updating the SConsruct file, reduce -j 6 to -j 3 and rerun scons as per your 2nd attempt (manual run).

# Stores signatures in a separate .sconsign file
# in each directory as the single one was getting huge
_env.SConsignFile(os.path.join( cls.generated_dir, "sconsign") )
----> _env['CXX'] ="g++ -O3 -Wno-deprecated -DBOOST_PYTHON_MAX_ARITY=19 -DBOOST_PYTHON_NO_PY_SIGNATURES "

I got it compiling eventually, and posted an update to this thread yesterday, its just waiting for approval by an admin for it to be posted...

Ok, glad you resolved your issues.

hi

I'm cross posting with the Google group but maybe someone here can help.

It seems there is a linker problem but I'm not sure how to fix it not really being familiar with CMake.
I should mention this is 13.10

The problem:
When I try to run:

python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b ogre --usesystem

or

sudo python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b ogre --usesystem

The build fails when it tries to build the Sample Browser (log below)

I assume I need to modify a Makefile to do the linking but I don't know enough about CMake to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?

After some discussion on the Google group the trick was to go into CMakeCache.txt in the ogre root directory which is where the compiler is set and change it from c++ to gcc.
