getting the dependencies

1. create a directory called "Dependencies" (from now on called "D") somewhere on your HDD
2. download the latest stable ogre SOURCE release into D/ogre: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre/files/ogre/1.7/ogre-v1-7-0.zip/download
3. get the fitting ogre dependencies: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre/files/ (i.e. OgreDependencies_MSVC_20100106.zip) : unpack to D/ogre/Dependencies
4. checkout the mygui svn trunk into D/mygui: https://my-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/my-gui/trunk
5. install the latest (precompiled) boost

building Ogre dependencies

notes: we only build release versions here for simplicity reasons

building ogre

open cmake and fill out all missing dependencies, generate and build ogre in release mode

building mygui

fill the missing ogre and ois values in cmake and then build
