getting CEGUI working with VS 2005

[zehrhand]

Hi
I know i am asking about a very common subject however neither i ve found good tutorials to get CEGUI working nor i could have it working with my effort..Can anyone direct me to a simple CEGUI installation guide(step by step if possible) on VS 2005?

i ve downloaded CEGUI-SDK-0.6.0-vc8.zip and CEGUI-DEPS-0.6.0-vc8.zip , and set the include ,lib directories from the VC++ directories tool..What do i need more?

here are the errors i get while trying to run one of the samples:

i would appreciate any help..

You need to add the lib files to your dependency list under the "Linker" option for your project settings. See this.

[zehrhand]

i added "d3d9.lib d3dx9.lib winmm.lib CEGUIBase.lib DirectX9GUIRenderer.lib" to my project's linker->input->additional dependencies and still get 7 errors..any idea?

Hey guys,
I'm in a programming competition, the submission deadline is tomorrow, and I am pretty desparate. Anyway, I am trying to create a mainmenu screen for my game. I just downloaded the cegui 0.6.0 sdk and did what I believe to have been the proper configurations but I am running into this runtime error:

Code: Select all

The procedure entry point
?createWindow@WindowManager@CEGUI@@QAEPAVWindow@2@A
BVString@2@00@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library CEGUIBase_d.dll


I have no idea why this is happening since I was able to create windows before I downloaded the prebuilt SDK and I am including the CEGUI_Static_d.lib file in my working directory, which doesn't seem to have a corresponding .dll file, along with the other dlls included in the SDK download (figuring that whatever was needed might be there). I noticed that CEGUI used DX9 whereas my Vista Operating system uses DX10. I'm not sure how backwards compatible DX is. I've searched through the forums trying out the different things I could find to no avail. Could you help me understand what libraries, header files, and dlls I need to link to or include in my working directory so that I can use the basic CEGUI functionality like the demos. I would greatly appreciate any and all help that could provide. Thanks.

Hi,

if you are using the static libraries, then you should compile your own application with the CEGUI_STATIC preprocessing option.

HTH.

[StillmatikX]

Is it necessary to have Direct3D9. I just tried building CEGUI from source and all of the projects in the CEGUI solution build fine except for the RenderModules project which complains about not being able to locate the "d3d9.h" file. I've looked throughout my computer and I can't seem to find this file anywhere. I'm guessing its because I am running Vista which uses DirectX10 which I believe might have like d3d10.h files and the like. Anyway, I think that because this project won't build, there is no OgreRenderer folder being created, which based on CE's comments in another post, I need to build this project after it is created. There is an IrrlichtRenderer folder, though, so that is a bit weird. Has anyone else had any problems getting CEGUI to work on Vista using MSVS2005???????

[StillmatikX]

I've been doing everything I can think of including downloading the dx9 sdk and adding its include and library folders to my build/link path and I can't get CEGUI to work. I can't even build the DX9Renderer project which I believe is affecting the CEGUIBase(_d).dll that it causing runtime problems for me. HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO GET CEGUI TO WORK ON VISTA SO THAT I CAN KNOW WHETHER OR NOT I AM WASTING MY TIME TRYING TO DO SO?????

[MrDoom]

I have had it working on Vista.

For me it was just a case of downloading the source, downloading the dependences and then adding my DXSDK path to the DX9Renderer project and pressing build.
