trying to make a console window using CEGUI

[babbelfisken]

Hi,

I'm a newbee at cegui and this is my first attempt to create something. I have a MVS .NET 2003 Win32/Console project and using OGRE SDK. The project settings are probably correct. I can create things with ogre and i've added to the libs, includes and bins to the project settings to match installed CEGUI SDKs libs, includes and bins. So far so good i think.

My task is to create a game console that is brought up by pressing TAB when i'm in a playing state.

I want to show a window in which i can type commands and an output area. Simply put.

But, there seems to be some memory problems regarding CEGUI and OGRE?

I found a fix, [http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/CEGUI_fix], some guy wrote to solve this problem but i can't seem to get it to work.

I can't compile my project and compile error is this :

This is somewhat strange to me. I would like to know if there is someone who had a similar or same problem to explain to me what to do. I've read the tutorials also but that gave me some knowledge, not to solve this.

uuh. the link was broken and I am interested in what the root cause was and what your solution was. Is this issue pertaining to Ogre and CEGUI only?
