CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi,
I'm trying to compile my application from linux to windows (visual 9) and i can't find wich lib to add in order to get the TooltipProperties link.

1>TooltipGVT.obj : error LNK2001: symbole externe non résolu "public: virtual void __thiscall CEGUI::TooltipProperties::FadeTime::set(class CEGUI::PropertyReceiver *,class CEGUI::String const &)" (?set@FadeTime@TooltipProperties@CEGUI@@UAEXPAVPropertyReceiver@3@ABVString@3@@Z)

it works on linux, but maybe it's not exported on windows?
Thanks

Hi,

To my knowledge, the tooltipproperties are part of the CeguiBase lib. I assume you got Cegui inself to build correctly?

How do you use cegui? Dynamic or static?

Well dynamic
But elements stuff don't seem to be exported.
I don't see the symbols on CEGUIBase.dll with dependency walker, and no define dllexport on tooltipproperties...

First off, as Scriptkid eluded too, are you using the pre-compiled binaries or did you compile CEGUI yourself?

In regards to the linker error, as Scriptkit also mentioned, you need to have the appropriate .lib (library) files specified in your project so that your linker can find the appropriate symbols. So we need to know what .lib files you are linking against. These are typically specified in configuration->linker->input->additional dependencies, though can be included by other means. You also need to verify that the linker can find those library files, typically specified in configuration->linker->general->additional library directories.

i know how to compile a project on visual ...
Yes i was using the precompiled binairies.
So i dowloaded the source and i modify the CEGUITooltipProperties.h in order to add the CEGUIEXPORT flag on HoverTime, DisplayTime and FadeTime and now it's OK.
