I'm new to CEGUI, and I am having problems compiling the library. In fact I'm having trouble compiling the dependencies:
The error I am seeing is this:
Linking C shared library ..\..\..\dependencies\bin\liblibpng.dll

I am using gcc 4.7.2 , cmake version 2.8.12
I have never built a DLL with a manual def file before but I believe that the problem is that the def file provided does not work with gcc
;------------------------------------------
; LIBPNG module definition file for Windows
;------------------------------------------
LIBRARY
EXPORTS
;Version 1.4.7
png_build_grayscale_palette
png_chunk_error
png_chunk_warning
...
According to:http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw/The-Definition-File.html
after the keyword LIBRARY you should put the name of the Library.
If I use LIBRARY png (instead of LIBRARY) the dll is created..
Does anyone have any experience compiling on windows with Mingw32?
Anyone else has a similar problem?
Any idea if this solution will work?
Thanks
Oded
