MINGW: Tons of errors when compiling CEGUI

[molma100]

Hello, I am new to this forum, and before I jump into my issue, I want to make sure I am at the right place.

What I need is some form of keyboard reading system to output text to a window in my ogre3d game. (I use OIS, and I will make my own text sprites and such, meaning I do not need the GUI portion of CEGUI) I heard that CEGUI can do that, but it really seems to give me way more than I ask for. (All I want is to pull the keyboard info, and I can do everything else...) If there is a better or easier way to do that, then please either point me in the right direction or show me another place I can go to attempt this (Before I mess up my game too much with CEGUI)

Onward with the errors. I have a ton of them just from adding CEGUI in and attempting to compile. If necessary I can provide more info on request.

I am using Code::Blocks with MinGW on Windows 7.

Also How would I buffer my inputs into a string? This is what I formulated from the Ogre3D Tutorial: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Basic+Tutorial+7 Along with add my own spice to it in an attempt to get what I need (Which is a string that tells the buffered keys)

Code: Select all

class CustomKeyListener: public OIS::KeyListener{
       using namespace OIS;
       public:
       std::string mString;
       CustomKeyListener(){mString="Blank";};
        bool keyPressed(const KeyEvent &arg){
            CEGUI::GUIContext& context = CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext();
            context.injectKeyDown((CEGUI::Key::Scan)arg.key);
            context.injectChar((CEGUI::Key::Scan)arg.text);
            std::cout<<arg.text<<std::endl;
            return true;
        }
      bool keyReleased(const KeyEvent &arg){
            CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().injectKeyUp((CEGUI::Key::Scan)arg.key);
            return true;
      }
   };

Did you include all necessary headers?

[molma100]

I have added:

Code: Select all

#include "CEGUI/CEGUI.h"
#include "CEGUI/RendererModules/Ogre/Renderer.h"
#include <cstring>

'cstring' is a solution to someone else's problem, but did not help me. What else do I need to add?

[lucebac]

You don't need <cstring>.

[molma100]

Even without, I still have all of the stated errors... It is odd how badly everything messes up just from adding the initialization lines...

[lucebac]

Compare to how it's done here.
Also: I hope you did notice that the tutorial you linked above aims on CEGUI 0.7.X - the current releases are from 0.8.X branch!

[molma100]

Okay, I figured I should start the addition from scratch.

After removing all the new code, even the includes, I still had the errors.
After removing the linkers, I still had the errors.
After attempting to edit back the header files to have <cstring>, I still had the errors.
ONLY after I removed the folders from the project's resources is when the errors went away.

Apparently something is wrong with the header files which caused an avalanche of issues, and when I expanded the limit of errors, I found that other files started exploding too.

Basically I made a huge mess when attempting to add in the library to my current project, and I gotta figure out a safer way to add it. Main issue is that I cannot properly build the library due to not having straightaway compatability with MinGW, and there are libraries that are moved a bit on my new system.

In the end I either gotta find a 100% proper working and updated guide, or I have to rebuild my entire environment over which could take up another entire day (when I almost never get that kind of time to work on this project) to build in replication of my current project...

I really just need a minimal way to make a string to hold my key inputs in real-time. That is all...

[YaronCT]

As a side note, MinGW 4.7 is very old. I think you're better off with a newer one, e.g. u can install 5.2 through msys2.

[molma100]

My MinGW is old because I have worked on this project over several years, and only a couple years ago I updated to MinGW 4.7 (Life has slowed the development down a ton) Regardless, There must be some form of process to make an open keyboard reader. For example: The standard C++ Language has 'std::cin' for reading input text from the keyboard. WIth this, the program pauses to read input from the keyboard and then continues the program when the input is accepted. How would I do this in real time either with or without CEGUI? The main thing I need out of this is how to get said text. The display of the text and what to do with it is already planned. I would assume I can hold this in a 'std::string' to be displayed later. BUT I need a way to get such input in real-time, not by 'std::cin' where the program pauses...

If I can find a way do take my inputs (just like how 'std::cin' does) but in real-time, and store it in a string for reading, then everything else should fall into place afterward. THIS is where I need help, even though almost all games have a way of doing this. This seems like a simple thing to do, but for some reason I am completely unable to search for a guide on just that thing. Instead I have to spend several days circling through errors over and again for a library that has WAY MORE than what I need.
