How to integrate CEGUI 0.5.0 RC2 with OGRE Dagon CVS?

[kungfoomasta]

Hi CEGUI Community!

I wanted to upgrade my app to the latest CEGUI release, but I'm having a few problems. I got all of the CEGUI components compiled without any problems, but I'm getting errors when compiling some of the OGRE projects, such as the OgreGUIRenderer and other Demos that rely on the CEGUI Library. I don't really care about the demos, but I need OgreGUIRenderer.

I've compiled everything in release mode. I deleted the ogrenew/dependencies/include/CEGUI contents and replaced it with the headers from the mk2 folder, as well as the CEGUIBase.lib.

Here is the log for compiling OgreGUIRenderer in VC8:

Code: Select all

Getting CEGUI working with OGRE Source v1.2.3 should also be applicable to my situation.

Also, what .dll's would be required to run one of the OGRE demo's that use CEGUI? There are a lot of CEGUI dll's that I no nothing about, such as:

CEGUIFalagardWRBase.dll
CEGUISILLYImageCodec.dll
CEGUITGAImageCodec.dll

Hope somebody can help me

The texture class interface has changed with 0.5, I posted a topic on the Ogre forums when we released RC1 stating the changes required.

Thanks for pointing me to the right thread lindquist. I nudged the thread again, I hope something is done to get the 2 libs compatable.

Can you explain to me what the 3 modules are used for?

CEGUIFalagardWRBase.dll
CEGUISILLYImageCodec.dll
CEGUITGAImageCodec.dll

I believe these steps will get the two working together:

Link to Wiki and tells needed modifications to files

Wiki with batch file to upgrade OGRE source to CEGUI source

Changes to Static Text and Static Image

I hope this all works, won't be able to try it out until tonight =).
