Bug#1044135: openmw: Crosshair, interactive prompts and character creation menus not visible.

[bret curtis]

Hello Simon,

not at my terminal, but the best way to fix for MyGui 3.4.2 is to edit the
debian/rules files to add this extra cmake option:
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="RelWithDebInfo" this is what makes the build usable.

so for example:
# build for OpenGL - Release configuration
dh_auto_configure -- -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
-DMYGUI_BUILD_DEMOS=FALSE -DMYGUI_RENDERSYSTEM=4 \
-DMYGUI_BUILD_DOCS=TRUE -DMYGUI_BUILD_PLUGINS=FALSE \
-DMYGUI_BUILD_TOOLS=FALSE -DMYGUI_USE_SYSTEM_GLEW=TRUE

I'd fix that for all 3 plugins.

Cheers, Bret
