<p> If you are setting up you application the EASY WAY (i.e.
in a subdirectory of Samples), then here's how you set up the
compiler / linker settings from the Project | Settings menu
item. All of these are for the Debug configuration, to set up
the Release configuration just change the directories from '\Debug\' to
'\Release\'.

If you want to do it the ADVANCED way, you'll have to replace the
relative paths here with the actual path to the root OGRE
folder. </p>

If you are setting up you application the EASY WAY (i.e. in a
subdirectory of Samples), then here's how you set up the compiler
/ linker settings after right-clicking on the project and
selecting 'Properties'. All of these are for the Debug
configuration, to set up the Release configuration just change the
directories from '\Debug\' to '\Release\'.

<p align="left" class="MainHeader"><a name="gcc">Gnu Compiler
Collection (gcc) v3.x</a></p>
<p> Before you start, make sure you are using gcc 3.x. Many
Linux distributions still come with gcc 2.95.x which does not
have as good support for the ISO C++ standard and will probably
cause you problems. Please install the latest stable version of
gcc 3.x. </p>
Create a file called 'Makefile' in your application folder, with
the contents:
<pre> include [ogre_location]/platform-settings<br><br> all:<br> $(CXX) $(DEFINES) $(CFLAGS) -o [appname] [yourSampleApp].cpp $(INCDIRS) -I$(TOPDIR)/Samples/Common/include -L$(TOPDIR)/OgreMain/lib -lOgreMain<br><br> clean:<br> rm -f [appname]<br></pre>
<p></p>
<p> Obviously you need to replace [ogre_location], [appname]
and [yourSampleApp] with the appropriate values. </p>
