Error compiling CEGUIBase with Visual Studio 2010

[Subsurf]

Hi all,

I wanted to use the newest CEGUI together with Ogre so I had to compile it myself.

I followed the steps in the Ogre-wiki (since there is no batch-file for creating a VC2010-project, i had to take the VC2008-project and let Visual Studio 2010 convert it, but that worked fine), but when I tried to compile the project, I got the following errors creating CEGUIBase:

Code: Select all

How do I solve that? Is that a VS2010-specific problem?

Read this, and adjust accordingly, or download the latest SVN.. http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/ ... r_Irrlicht

Yes, this is a known issue with existing releases and the MSVC++ 2010 compiler, and has been discussed previously along with a couple of fixes. The stable branch code and the snapshot releases have been fixed (as well as svn trunk).

If you want to continue with 0.7.1 anyway, the fix is as follows:

Code: Select all

Thanks! Works fine now
