... Or Use the quick build scripts

You will need the following installed:

• Git
• CMake (http://www.cmake.org/)
• Python (the pre-installed 2.7 version on OSX and most linux distros works fine, on Windows omegalib comes with python bundled so you don't need this)
• C++ Build tools for your platform (g++, clang/XCode, Visual Studio 2012/2013 depending on the OS). On windows, the free Visual Studio editions work fine.
• (linux) The following packages
  • OpenGL development libraries (freeglut3, freeglut3-dev)
  • Python development libraries (python-dev)
  • Flex and bison (flex and bison)
  • To install all of them on Ubunto do sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev python-dev flex bison xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev)
