The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Users.

You can view and copy the source of this page:

First, you need to download the CEGUI source package and its dependencies from [http://cegui.org.uk/download The Official Site].<br>
You also need to download and install CMake binary from [http://www.cmake.org/download/ here].<br>
<br>
Second, you build the dependencies.<br>
Build of the D3DX11 package is currently not supported. Moreover, this version of DirectX is deprecated.<br>
You had better avoid using these features if possible.<br>
Patch a few to build all packages successfully except for D3DX11.<br>
<br>
In the pngwin.def at <dependencies_source_root>/src/libpng-1.4.7/scripts,<br>
At Line 5, edit LIBRARY to LIBRARY libpng. libpng is the missing library name.<br>
<br>
In the devil_internal_exports.h at <dependencies_source_root>/src/devil-1.7.8/include/IL,<br>
At Line 29, change the definition of INLINE from external inline to static inline.<br>
By this change, you can avoid some multiple definition error.<br>
<br>
Then, you launch cmake-gui, click configure, select the MinGW Makefiles generator,<br>
check all options except for CEGUI_BUILD_EFFECTS11 and CEGUI_GNUtoMS, configure again and generate.<br>
If Cmake works successfully, you can see the Makefile at the target binary directory you choose.<br>
Build it.<br>
You could find built dependencies at <dependencies_binary_root>/dependencies.<br>
<br>
Third, you build the CEGUI.<br>
You need to move dependencies you built from <dependencies_binary_root> to <cegui_source_root>.<br>
<br>
You also need to modify some files.<br>
<br>
In the CMakeLists.txt at <cegui_source_root>/cegui/src,<br>
Between Line 84 and Line 85, you have to add<br>
if(MINGW)<br>
target_link_libraries(${CEGUI_TARGET_NAME} <mingw_root>/lib/libshlwapi.a)<br>
endif ()<br>
This library is needed for the build of MiniZipResourceProvider.<br>
<br>
And to solve the C++ mangling problem, you have to remake an import library to libxerces-c_3.dll.<br>
To do this,<br>
1.Export the .def file from libxerces-c_3.dll at <cegui_source_root>/dependencies/bin.<br>
2.Modify the exported .def file.<br>
3.Remake an import library from modified .def file.<br>
4.Replace the libxerces-c_3.dll.a at <cegui_root>/dependencies/lib/dynamic/ with the new import library.<br>
<br>
For example, with the built-in MinGW dlltool,<br>
1.Run dlltool --export-all-symbols libxerces-c_3.dll -z temp.txt<br>
2.At Line 6919, modify _ZN11xercesc_3_19XMLString7releaseEPPwPNS_13MemoryManagerE to _ZN11xercesc_3_19XMLString7releaseEPPtPNS_13MemoryManagerE = _ZN11xercesc_3_19XMLString7releaseEPPwPNS_13MemoryManagerE,<br>
At Line 6977, modify _ZN11xercesc_3_19XMLString9transcodeEPKwPNS_13MemoryManagerE to _ZN11xercesc_3_19XMLString9transcodeEPKtPNS_13MemoryManagerE = _ZN11xercesc_3_19XMLString9transcodeEPKwPNS_13MemoryManagerE.<br>
3.Run dlltool -d temp.txt -l libxerces-c_3.dll.a.<br>
4.Replace.<br>
<br>
This problem occurs because the number of User-defined types is different between CEGUI and its dependencies.<br>
<br>
Then, you launch cmake-gui, click configure, select the MinGW Makefiles generator, uncheck CEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL3 and generate.<br>
You should choose the target binary directory same as the source directory, because the reference to datafiles are fixed to the source directory.<br>
If Cmake works successfully, you can see the Makefile at the target binary directory you choose.<br>
Build it.<br>
You could find built cegui-library at <cegui_target_root>/bin.<br>
Copy the dll files at <cegui_root>/dependencies/bin to this directory.<br>
<br>
Finally, launch CEGUISampleFramework-0.8.<br>
If you have successfully built all the things, you may enjoy a bunch of cegui demo.<br>
Congratulations!<br>
