Newbie Questions

im new to CEGUI, and im tryign to get it workign at the moment.. I have downloaded and compiled (everything except one fo the DX libs and the ogre lib). Im attempting to use openGL... but i cant seem to figure out what to link and use to use the openGL renderer.

I found a copy of demo 4 that uses an openGL renderer, so i decided to work from there. However, when i try to use <CEGUI.h>, i get an error in teh CEGUIstring.h file on this line:

return encoded_size(&ptr()[idx], std::min(num, maxlen));

which is part of the size_type utf8_stream_len(size_type num = npos, size_type idx = 0) function.

the error i get is

syntax error: "::"
illegal token "(" on right side of ::



not to sure how to fix this, any suggestions would be helpful

EDIT:

well, it appears that i have visual C++ 7.1, and min/max arnt defined for some microsoft reason, so i just had to write it myself in there...problem solved, although very irritating...

Hi,

Glad you managed to resolve the issue.

The actual cause is that the Win32 headers contain macro definitions of min and max, which totally messes up anything using perfectly standard c++ such as std::min and std::max. The usual solution is to either undef these macros or to #define NOMINMAX before your Win32 includes.

CE.
