Bug #779 (Assigned)
Build system should look for OGRE_SAMPLES_INCLUDEPATH in /usr/include/OGRE (Fedora)

Description:
Due to Fedora’s package guidelines, the Fedora package for Ogre (and maybe also Ogre packages in other Linux distributions) store the include files for the Ogre sample framework in /usr/include/OGRE instead of /usr/share/OGRE/Samples/Common/Include. The build config files should respect that and consider /usr/include/OGRE for OGRE_SAMPLES_INCLUDEPATH if the other paths cannot be found. (Otherwise, Ogitor cannot be built with Fedora’s Ogre package.)

It really doesn’t.
The sample "framework" headers are indeed in /usr/include/OGRE, but they
are also installed into /usr/share/OGRE when the sample sources are
installed.
Because /usr/include/OGRE is added regardless, it doesn’t really matter
if /usr/share/OGRE/Samples isn’t present. And because it’s in the first,
the second isn’t needed at all.
So maybe it should be removed. To prevent any confusion.

Actually, it isn’t. Many Linux distributions have strict guidelines which kind of files go where – in this case, all include files into /usr/include – and modify each software package to meet these guidelines where needed. For instance, in Debian’s (and, by extension, Ubuntu’s) "ogre-dev" package, Sample.h and friends are also located in /usr/include/ for the same reason.
So actually, the irregularity lies in Ogre’s original build system.
