[Solved] Updateing CEGUI from 0.7 to 0.8.7 Unresolved Externals

I have been recently trying to update my Ogre project from 1.7 (with CEGUI 0.7 for visual studio 2008) to 1.9 (with CEGUI 0.8.7 for visual studio 2015). Ogre is working fine but I am wrecking my head what I did wrong with CEGUI, as I am getting unresolved externals from every function of CEGUI I am using. It is safe to assume that they didn't change the whole API from 0.7 to 0.8.7.
I put into my self-compiled Ogre 1.9 SDK the required dlls, libs and updated the dependencies in the project.
After researching on the Internet I think I made an error with cmake. I have to say I am an absolute novice using cmake, so my conclusion is probably wrong. I did complied Ogre for DX9 and 11 but the libraries are not found by cmake.
Is it possible that this causes my problems? I would be glad if somebody could give me a pointer.

I can't tell. If u wish, u can clean your project and upload it somewhere, then I can look at it.

The important part of the linker errors is cut off.

Do u use cegui as is, or is it possible u changed something in cegui b4/after building it or after installing it (and specifically, in the headers)?

You probably did not link the CEGUI core library in your project.

Compiler or config mismatch? It can give weird results...

@Maker: The "CEGUI/config.h" file u have is very different from mine. Where did it come from? It says in the beginning of the file it was created by Premake. How? We don't use Premake, but Cmake. Can u plz elaborate the steps you've done to build cegui?

Good catch. He probably forgot to replace the headers from the build folder and remove the old headers, that is a manual step
