After a long wait for the inclusion of branch 1.7 in Gentoo portage, I decided to try installing from an overlay and start migrating my project. The problems started when I noticed that support for Devil has been removed, now only Freeimage is supported. And, guess what, Freeimage has been removed from portage. Not a problem for Windows users, so, ignore that. In the end, I had to install both Freeimage and Ogre manually. Then I found the second problem: Ogre no longer builds a renderer for CEGUI. So, you need to install a recent CEGUI, lets say, 0.7, and build the renderer. Not a problem, simply a change in the build order: first Ogre, then CEGUI.
But guess what: headers for Ogre renderer have relative references to CEGUI headers, which is not a problem when building CEGUI but creates a big mess when you use an automated build system like scons, which detects such headers at /usr/include.
So, after 3 days Im still unable to run my game and Im seriously thinking to go back to 1.6 or switch to another engine.
... Ubuntu
