Running Ogre3D in Ubuntu error

Question

I have Ogre3D compiled and ready, the only issue is that when I go to test it, I get the following build output, and while it will compile, it simply just exits:

/home/holland/Code/C++/Test/ogreapp_build/dist/bin/OgreApp exited with code 0

I compiled the framework using a lot of the settings from here.

What the code is supposed to do is show a graphics renderer with settings, and then display a blank screen with fps data being displayed. The problem is that the code literally compiles, then exits.

Question: what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The resources.cfg file should be in the directory where the executable is so it can be found.
