This is very good option. It provides many great features and functionalities. It works well. There is no problem related to any platform.

I've updated my system to Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010. This means I was finally able to remove the awkward C++0x compatability stuff as it builds properly on VS 2010 and GCC. I've also updated to OgreSDK 1.7.1 and took the latest version of Qt from Git (heading towards 4.7 now). Also, my CMake is now on 2.8.1. Just a few more bits and pieces to do to get everything running smoothly again.

Also, I've done some work adding scripting support to the QtOgreFramework. It's very preliminary (I'm still working out how stuff fits together) but I've got keyboard input and wrapped the Ogre::Vector3 class. The camera can now be controlled through QtScript There's lots to do here but it looks promising.

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 in VirtualBox so I was able to verify those fixes you made (thanks for that!). I was going to fix it myself but you got there first. Shows that CDash is working as expected I'll try to check the QtOgre framework works under Linux after I've made my scripting changes.

Running on almost exactly those specs on Linux I've managed to get PolyVox, QtOgre and Thermite compiling and running now. Hopefully my changes haven't broken anything but they were all fairly minor.

Sounds promising. I'll be interested to see how this progresses. I'm still planning on putting in some hooks to make it easier to create a GUI/HUD type thing (an overlay basically) using a QGraphicsView or QML for QtOgre.

I haven't actually tried running the samples since your changes but it compiles OK.

Really?! That's awesome. I thought Thermite would require a fair bit of work. I guess it helps a lot now that Bullet is optional. Did you actually manage to open any scenes (the castle is the smallest)? If so post a screenshot Was the interaction and framerate ok?

Yep, sounds good. I haven't really looked at the QML stuff yet but I think it has a lot of potential. But even just constraining widgets to stay within the main window would be progress. Maybe it's as simple as as setting the parenting up properly?

I haven't managed to load any scenes. It's been a while and so I forget how to. Is it just a case of running Thermite with --appname?

Where are the samples kept? I can't find them in SVN .

I disabled Bullet while compiling because in the past it's been a problem. However, If I can get the rest working then I'll move on to getting it working with Bullet enabled.

I'm not sure. I'll need to have more of a play around with it. I'm not sure how possible it it to put restrictions like that on child windows since they really are separate windows at the moment (right?) rather than normal widgets. I'll have a look though.
