Missing Files: Am I loosing my mind?

[SuperGeek]

Well I have started learning to use CEGUI, and as so many others, I have run into a snag with the linker. I am getting lots of 'inconsistent dll linkage' errors. I have added the appropriate folders for library and header files to the search paths. After tracing back through all the directories, I have found the problem: The CEGUIBase_d.lib files is missing! From what I can tell, is it not supposed to be in the cegui_mk2\lib directory? Am I loosing my mind, or do I have to get it elsewhere?

hi,

You'r post isn't very clear...

If you havent the CEGUIBase_d.lib, can you just build it from the CEGUI project ?

More info like the OS, the compiler you use and the linker log is necessary.

[lindquist]

CEGUIBase_d.lib is the result of a debug build.
In release mode it's just CEGUIBase.lib, so you could be building different targets for the projects!

My post is not clear because I'm a noob at VC++. I am using .Net 2003 for my programming needs atm, and I just started using it, so I'm still learning my way around a bit. I have the CEGUIBase_d.lib now. The problem was the references in the CEGUI project. But I am still getting alot of 'inconsistent dll linkage' and 'definition of dllimport static data member not allowed' errors. Sorry if I don't make much sense btw. Here is the log:

Ok, solved that problem. Just me being stupid again;) Now I just need to figure out why the demo for D3D9 won't run...

[SuperGeek]

Ok, I'm probably just being stupid again, but the D3D9 CEGUI demo won't run for me. When it is run, I get the base window fine, its the GUI that isn't working. Instead, I am given the error:

'First-chance exception at 0x7d4e228c in C++ Crazy Eddie Test.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: CEGUI::InvalidRequestException @ 0x0012e9f8.'

The offending code (in fstream actually):

_Myt *open(const char *_Filename,
ios_base::openmode _Mode,
int _Prot = (int)ios_base::_Openprot)
{ // open a C stream with specified mode
_Filet *_File;
if (_Myfile != 0 || (_File = _Fiopen(_Filename, _Mode, _Prot)) == 0) // <<<OFFENDING LINE>>>
return (0); // open failed

_Init(_File, _Openfl);
_Initcvt((_Cvt *)&_USE(_Mysb::getloc(), _Cvt));
return (this); // open succeeded
}

I am running this on a AMDx64 system, using WinXP and .Net 2003.

Any ideas?

[lindquist]

Post the relevant portion of your CEGUI.log as well

[SuperGeek]

I listed it in my previous post. Perhaps this is more clear:

First-chance exception at 0x7d4e228c in C++ Crazy Eddie Test.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: CEGUI::InvalidRequestException @ 0x0012e9f8.
The program '[128] C++ Crazy Eddie Test.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

And like I say, the error occurs in the file 'Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\crt\src\fstream' rather than in a file within my project. Not sure what call routes to fstream.

Ahhh! So I was being stupid. You are right, the log shows the file that was missing that through the exception. It worked fine before...wonder what's changed? The GUIscheme.xsd file is right where I left it, but the parser can't seem to find it. I'll play around with it till I figure it out. Thanks for the help!
