Ah, yep, building Ember cvs requires Ogre 1.2. And with this version of Ogre they’ve changed the default platform on *nix system from SDL to GLX. Ember uses SDL for its input system, and I haven’t yet had time to make Ember work with the GLX backend. The only solution right now is to compile Ogre with the configure flag “–with-platform=SDL”. It shouldn’t trigger a complete recompile of the whole Ogre, just the platform part.

I’m building current CVS ember, as I’m lacking the 32bit compat libs for SDL_image, so the autopackage doesn’t work. I figure I could set up a 32bit chroot instead…
Updating OpenAL fixed the compile issues though. Now ember crashes in
#1 0×0000000000453c74 in EmberOgre::EmberOgre::configure (this=0×7fffffaa6040) at EmberOgre.cpp:495
495 SDL_WM_SetIcon(IMG_Load(iconPath), 0);

Looks like I didn’t set the paths right.

What version of Ember are you trying to build?
Doesn’t the autopackage packages work?
