CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

I'm having issues building CEGUI. Specifically it seems like the SILLY library is not being built properly. Visual Studio 2019 Windows 8.1 OS.
I'm planning on using CEGUI with SDL2 and OPENGL.

I downloaded CEGUI from this: http://cegui.org.uk/download

I was following this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwf_gDVudsE

I built some portions of the library and
Running this code:
CEGUI::OpenGL3Renderer& cegui_renderer = CEGUI::OpenGL3Renderer::create(CEGUI::Sizef(800.f, 600.f));
cegui_renderer.enableExtraStateSettings(true);
CEGUI::System::create(cegui_renderer) ;

results in:
CEGUI::GenericException in function '__cdecl CEGUI::DynamicModule::DynamicModule
(const class CEGUI::String &)' (C:\Projects\Libraries\cegui\cegui-0.8.7\cegui\sr
c\DynamicModule.cpp:224) : Failed to load module 'CEGUISILLYImageCodec_d.dll': T
he specified module could not be found.

I do not see CEGUISILLYImageCodec_d.dll in cegui-0.8.7\build\bin

Here are some screenshots and errors from my projects:

Is there any chance you forgot to copy the dependencies folder over after building the dependencies?

I will double check when I get back. However, in the dependencies project SILLY project fails to build. All other projects including SILLY static build properly. Do both of them need to build for it work?

The dependencies have to build.

The cegui dependencies I unzip, then run cmake, then build the generated visual studio project. Am I missing any steps? Do I need to move something for dependcies to build? Im a bit confused why SILLY fails to build (the error message is pretty clear but not sure how to resolve it). Maybe Im missing some check boxes in the dependencies cmake or something?

Have you checked if jpeg lib was built successfully? Might be a naming issue of the output lib. Is the lib present?

You might also wanna try VS2017, i have not tried this with Vs2019 yet but I will do so in the future when I am done setting up gitlab for CEGUI - but that might eat up all my time for now
