Crash on OgreCEGUIRenderer construction

For help with general CEGUI usage:

Crash on OgreCEGUIRenderer construction

Postby Taldor » Mon Aug 20, 2007 19:18

I'm trying to use CEGUI with Ogre, but so far, it didn't work for me. As the program crashes on the construction of OgreCEGUIRenderer:

Code: Select all

renderer = new CEGUI :: OgreCEGUIRenderer (& window);

The full source code can be found here.

I have the impression (but I'm not fully sure) that the this crash occurs on some systems and not on others.

However the program doesn't crash when I use valgrind, a debugging tool.
Here are the errors logged by valgrind, concerning CEGUI:

What could be the cause of the problem? And how do I solve it?

I have no problem using cegui with ogre. The first question that comes to mind is relative to the render window and the scene manager. Are you sure that these have been correctly created?

I'm assuming that the answer to the first question is yes. This leads me to my second question. This is more of a C question. I notice that you pass window and scene_manager into GUI_Engine as references. Then you attempt to pass the window pointer and scene_manager pointer into OgreCEGUIRenderer as pointers (you take the address of the reference). Will this actually work? Try to pass window and scene_manager into your GUI_Engine as pointers to begin with. See if this helps.

I guess so. Here's the code.
daves wrote:I'm assuming that the answer to the first question is yes. This leads me to my second question. This is more of a C question. I notice that you pass window and scene_manager into GUI_Engine as references. Then you attempt to pass the window pointer and scene_manager pointer into OgreCEGUIRenderer as pointers (you take the address of the reference). Will this actually work? Try to pass window and scene_manager into your GUI_Engine as pointers to begin with. See if this helps.

I've tried this before, and had the same results. Tbh I don't really see a reason why this wouldn't work.

i am having a similar problem..........

http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=35511

i remade my engine. Before the same code was working. The only difference is that on my old engine i always ran it in release mode. This time around i have a dual build. But it crashes using both....... sigh... I think it might be a problem in the ogre memory manager.

might i ask for more information on you crash?

what processor are you using(when i debug i use a p4 but ogre is looking at its amd_64 code...)

well i got mine to work... It had to do with the fact that i only had CEGUI base.dll it seems that i needed all of the ones in the ogre/samples/bin folder. Hope this helps the original poster =). Sigh i was under the impression that if I was missing a DLL i would be informed. I don't know if this is an Ogre issue or a CEGUI one. But I'm glad to have it working.

Well I'm not using windows, but linux, so I'm using lib*.so files instead of DLLs, but I don't believe it matters much.
The Ogre & CEGUI libraries I'm linking to are:
- libOgreMain-1.4.3.so (equivalent to OgreMain.dll/OgreMain_d.dll)
- libCEGUIBase.so.1 (equivalent to CEGUIBase.dll/CEGUIBase_d.dll)
- libCEGUIOgreRenderer-1.4.3.so (equivalent to OgreGUIRenderer.dll/OgreGUIRenderer_d.dll)
What other Ogre or CEGUI library do I need?

Have you tried with more parameters, such as:

Code: Select all

mRenderer = new CEGUI::OgreCEGUIRenderer(mWindow,
                                         Ogre::RENDER_QUEUE_OVERLAY,
                                         false,
                                         3000,
                                         mSceneMgr);


Catch the Ogre and Cegui exceptions, what do those show?

Yes, I've tried more parameters. And no exceptions are thrown.

Others have reported that the code doesn't give any crash for them. So I tried to reinstall both Ogre and CEGUI several times, but to no avail.

So, you did not compile CEGUI yourself, but you took the libs and dll's from somewhere ? are you sure the libs are the ones that match exactly the dll's you use ?

I installed CEGUI through Gentoo's portage.
