Automatic download & build scripts

We provide easy-to-use scripts that will download and setup all dependencies for you in a self-contained folder Download build_ogre_scripts for the branch you need from:

https://www.ogre3d.org/download/sdk/sdk-ogre-next

Note: The iOS build scripts do not build samples by default (unlike other platforms). However the script can be edited by replacing OGRE_BUILD_SAMPLES2=0 with OGRE_BUILD_SAMPLES2=1

Downloading Ogre

Clone Ogre as in Linux. Download iOS prebuilt dependencies from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre/files/ogre-dependencies-mac/1.9/Ogre_iOS_7.0_Dependencies_20140315.dmg/download and unzip them into Ogre/iOSDependencies

Building Ogre

cd Ogre
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D OGRE_BUILD_PLATFORM_APPLE_IOS=1 -D OGRE_BUILD_RENDERSYSTEM_METAL=1 -D OGRE_CONFIG_THREAD_PROVIDER=0 -D OGRE_CONFIG_THREADS=0 -D OGRE_BUILD_SAMPLES2=1 -D OGRE_UNITY_BUILD=1 -D OGRE_SIMD_NEON=1 -D OGRE_BUILD_TESTS=0 -G Xcode ..

Now open Ogre/build/OGRE.xcodeproj in XCode and build it. You may have to set up the provisioning profiles of each sample before running in it on the device.
