CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I keep getting this error when I try to construct a CEGUIIrrlichtRenderer...

error C2664: 'CEGUI::IrrlichtRenderer::IrrlichtRenderer(irr::IrrlichtDevice &)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'irr::IrrlichtDevice *' to 'irr::IrrlichtDevice &'

I'm using Visual Studio 9 (2008)

And the code that matters...

i would recommend buying and reading a book about c or c++. there you should read the chapter about pointers and references.

take a look at each byte in the following code:


hint: -> * -> & this time

Actually



the * before createDevice is important.

Unfortunately the code;

Is necessary, all other references to the "device" only work if it is a pointer.
I attempted the following code...

But I get the following error;
cannot access protected member declared in class 'CEGUI::IrrlichtRenderer'

You can't construct the renderer like this. If anything it would be the IR::create static method.
