    Nice! But it appears that this version depends on a not released version of irrlicht:

    Irrlicht Engine version 1.7.2
    Linux 2.6.38-4-default #1 SMP 2011-03-15 17:12:01 +0100 x86_64
    checking irrlicht version is recent enough... configure: error: Your
    irrLicht is too old, please update irrLicht.
    You need irrlicht 1.8.
    While irrlicht 1.8 is not released, we recommend using version 3629 from
    irrlicht SVN trunk.

    As there may be more Irrlicht consumers in a distribution, it is not wise to just upgrade to a unreleased Irrlicht version (for a distribution).

    Is irrlicht 1.8 really required? Is it possible to make STK work with 1.7.x? Any idea when Irrlicht-1.8 will be available?

    This version seems to depend on a not released Irrlicht version, see build output:

    Irrlicht Engine version 1.7.2
    Linux 2.6.38-4-default #1 SMP 2011-03-15 17:12:01 +0100 x86_64
    checking irrlicht version is recent enough... configure: error: Your
    irrLicht is too old, please update irrLicht.
    You need irrlicht 1.8.
    While irrlicht 1.8 is not released, we recommend using version 3629 from
    irrlicht SVN trunk.

    Is this correct? As in a distribution more applications depend on Irrlicht, it is not straight forward to update to a unreleased Irrlicht version.

    Is it possible to break the dependency on the not yet released Irrlicht version, in other words is it possible to alter STK-0.7.1 in such a way that it works with Irrlicht-1.7.x? If not any idea when Irrlicht-1.8 will be released?

    Hi,

    this is correct, we require irrlicht 1.8.

    And no it's not really possible to use irrlicht 1.7, verison 1.7 has several bugs that have been fixed in 1.8

    HOWEVER, given that 1.7 and 1.8 are not API-compatible, and thus has different so-names, offering irrlicht 1.8 would theorically not affect other applications (since AFAIK supertuxkart is the only application to dependon irrlicht 1.8)
