Linker error when trying to build CEGUI v0.5.0 in VC8

[Gyrofalcon]

Yeah, the title should explain it all. I'm attempting to build it with OGRE, but that doesn't seem to be where the problem lies. I'm also attempting to build it with the CEGUI-Lua, but I still get the first four errors without it. Here are the .lib files in my linker input:

SDL.lib
lua.lib
OgreOde_Core.lib
OgreOde_Prefab.lib
OgreMain.lib
user32.lib
SDL_ttf.lib
CEGUIBase.lib
OgreGUIRenderer.lib
CEGUILua.lib
tolua++.lib
CEGUIExpatParser.lib

And here is the error:

(Log was edited slightly)

And as I said, the first four errors still occur when I remove every file related to CEGUILua from the project.

Can anybody give a helping hand with this?

Please excuse the bump, but I haven't gotten a single response and it's been a couple of weeks since I posted this.

Hi,

sorry for the late reply. What is 'client.obj'? That is a file of yourself? Does cegui 0.5 compile and link without that file? I mean can you link the cegui solution which gets created by the batchfile? Can you post some of your 'client' file?

maybe it can be a problem with the 'const'ness of the arguments or so, I had something similar once.

Client.obj is the compiled code of client.cpp. That is one of my files, yes. This is the code in that file in which I use the methods which seem to be causing the linker errors:

Code: Select all

bool AGE_Application::initMainMenu(lua_State *L)
{
gGUIScriptM = new CEGUI::LuaScriptModule(L);
gSceneMgr = gRoot->createSceneManager(ST_GENERIC);
gCamera = gSceneMgr->createCamera("MenuCam");
Viewport* menuviewport = gWindow->addViewport(gCamera);
menuviewport->setBackgroundColour(ColourValue(0,0,0));
return true;
}

When I remove this code, I still get the first four errors. When I try to build the solution without client.cpp and client.h, the whole thing builds perfectly, but this only makes sense as I don't use any CEGUI code in any of my files (at least at this point) except those.

Also, I'm building my project with CEGUI by including some of the files, adding the include directories, and adding many of the CEGUI .lib files to my linker input.
