Remove Boost as a Dependency #76

Closed randomPoison closed 9 years ago

randomPoison commented 9 years ago

Replaces #1

Only Ogre depends directly on boost, so if we use a personal build (rather than the distrubuted SDK), then we can avoid the boost dependency. We also have to create our own build since there is no Ogre2.0 SDK at this point.

I think our best bet is to use NuGet as our package manager for Windows, that way we don't have to muck about with uploading and downloading build files to dropbox or something.

Another option is Chocolatey. It's build off NuGet, but where NuGet installs stuff in a VS project, Chocolatey installs system-wide. This won't make a big difference for CI, but it will be nice if we want to provide an easy download for potential developers (which we do).

I managed to fix the issue of building on windows by uploading the Ogre binaries to dropbox.
