Btw, can you give me upload rights?

Here is how to compile irrlicht first. Copy this to your /opt folder

sudo svn co https://irrlicht.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/irrlicht/trunk irrlicht

save it as 'uppirr.sh' and make it executable

cd /opt
./uppirr.sh
<enter password>

after it finishes:
cd irrlicht/source/Irrlicht
sudo make

Then you should be able to compile with the latest version, where the Makefile is pointing to. You may change that to another folder if you wish, if you don't want to place irrlicht in your /opt folder.

On Ubuntu (and I believe fedora/redhat too) there is a libirrlicht-dev package, we should use this instead really.

[eross (drarem)]

Updated, now will compile clean using the -dev package instead of the latest SVN.

[Michael Rawson (michael.rawson)]

Awesome. If you do need the latest svn from sourceforge, put it in the source tree. Packaging for debian is a headache if you download stuff during the install process. Thanks!

[eross (drarem)]

Compile errors have been addressed.
