Okay, thanks for your help
I am still trying - I'll shortly describe all the steps I did:
1. Downloaded the demo-pack and the datasrc-pack from
tuan.kuranes.free.fr/Ogre.htmlUnpacked it and tried to run it - Did not work, but I noticed it tried to find
Ogre (which I had not installed yet :-)
2. Went to
www.Ogre3d.org and downloaded
the precompiled Ogre 1.2.3 SDK for Code::Blocks + MinGW C++ Toolbox
3. Looked at the installation instructions at
Ogre-Wikie - Installation Instructions for Codeblocks and MinGW- installed CodeBlocks (with the necessary dlls, MingW and Ogre3D-SDK
4. Tested this installation by compiling succesfully some fresnel-demo- Yay
5. a) Unpacked the demo pack (see step 1) and datsrc-pack to OgreSDK\PLSM2 - after initial test with MapSplitter.exe I encountered the following error-message:
CODE
14:29:33: Creating resource group PLSM2
14:29:33: An exception has been thrown!
.......
Description: Cannot open requested directory ../../../../../ogreaddons/paginglandscape/Samples/Media/paginglandscape2.
.......
Because of that I renamed the PLSM2-directory to paginglandscape and put it in /OgreSDK/ogreaddons/paginglandscape/
The error-message did not change though
By that time, I noticed Yellows post and thus changed the relative paths from
resources.cfg to absolute ones:
This is my new resources.cfg

The result sadly is still the same (sorry for posting the whole MapSplitter.log,
but I am not sure, I understand it fully):

As far as I can tell, the program still searches for a relative folder (five folders
above ogreaddons-folder - to me this does not make any sense)
../../../../../ogreaddons/paginglandscape/Samples/Media/paginglandscape2
Since I configured all the folders to absolute paths and I cannot find a cfg, that calls
this folder, I am really at a loss here - not to mention the loss of some hours trying to get it to work
Anyway, you have been very nice to me and I hope you still have more advice for me (if someone has a working version, a copy of the paginglandscape folder might be helpful).
Thanks and cheers to you
