[SOLVED] CEGUISampleFramework-0.8 + Windows 10 Pro

[LordJonas]

@YaronCT: Sorry... I've been working like a crazzy to get the engine and cegui working and i've missed that indeed...

cegui deps (after compilation) are locate at D:\dev\cegui-0.8.7\dependencies (wicht includes the folders bin, include, lib, and all the others...)
irrlicht is located at D:\dev\engine

[YaronCT]

@LordJonas: Ok, plz follow these steps *exactly*:

* Open a command prompt

* Run:

Code: Select all

set PATH=D:\dev\engine\bin;D:\dev\cegui-0.8.7\dependencies\bin;C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin;%PATH%
echo %PATH%
D:\Dev\cegui-0.8.7\bin\CEGUISampleFramework-0.8.exe

Plz tell me the output of the "echo" command and how the running of the sample framework goes.

The good news is that it works with OpenGL.
The bad knews is that with Irrlich it crashes...

Why?? What did i missed ?

[YaronCT]

@LordJonas: I'm glad to hear!

Order matters. Some of the dll-s from MinGW-w64 may be in other places in your path, with the same name, but with different content (e.g. they contain different versions of the library, or built with a different compiler). Similarly, some of the dll-s from cegui deps may be in other places in your path (including the compiler's bin dir), with the same name, but with different content. Therefore u must make sure "D:\dev\engine\bin;D:\dev\cegui-0.8.7\dependencies\bin;C:\MinGW\mingw32\bin" is at the front of your "PATH", in that order.

[LordJonas]

@YaronCT: I'm going to edit the environment variables in Windows so i can put those paths in first place. However, still no luck with Irrlicht...

[LordJonas]

@YaronCT:
I've change the order of paths in the environment variables for Windows 10 and tested the following modes:

OpenGL 3.2 Core Renderer - OK
OpenGL Renderer - OK
Microsoft Direct3D 9 Renderer - OK
Microsoft Direct3D 10 Renderer - OK
Irrlicht Engine Renderer - NOK

I've noticed that Irrlicht gives an exception when loading CEGUIEffectsDemo :

See attached file

[YaronCT]

@LoadJonas: Yes, that's the problem reported here. I've uploaded a patch to that thread. That should fix the problem.

[YaronCT]

@LoadJonas: Note that Direct3D 11 Renderer now works too with MinGW-w64. However, you'll have to use the head revision of branch "v0-8" of both the "cegui-dependencies" and "CEGUI" repositories for it to work.

[LordJonas]

@YaronCT: Applying the patch works fine. Thanks a lot for the time.

@LordJonas:

If you're interested, u can share with us a bit about the project u work on.
