[Solved] Building 3.2 with vs2008 sln...

So I downloaded mygui 3.2 along with the visual studio solution, but I cant quite figure out how to point the solution to the ogre include/src directories. I am using vs2008, and there is no 'additional include directories' in the project properties. The wiki only talks about building with cmake, so I didnt find any help there... What am I missing here?

*Is there a tutorial wiki anywhere that describes the steps needed to build with vs? If I recall when I built a earlier version a long time ago I also had to point mygui to some other dependencies (like freetype). Do I still need to do that for 3.2?

Did you try using CMake or are you trying to do this manually?

Dont have cmake on this box, thats why I downloaded the visual studio solutions. I used cmake once a long time ago, would rather avoid having to use it if possible. Its strange, I have never seen a project setup like this, there is just no way to specify dependencies... I mean it must be there.. but where?

CMake and the SLNs are not contrary - CMake creates the SLNs. That said, I remember building MyGUI without CMake in the past although that was 2.x.

Anyway - don't you just add your Ogre header path to the VC++ "Configuration Properties->C/C++: Additional Include Directories", and Ogre lib path to ""Configuration Properties->Linker->General: Additional Library Directories" for the few projects which require Ogre? You need to be doing this for each PROJECT, not the SOLUTION, remember.

Few MyGUI projects depend on Ogre - in fact maybe only MyGUI.OgrePlatform - though I see MyGUIEngine uses the Ogre dependency dir presumably for FreeType.

Sorry if that doesn't help, if not you'll have to wait for someone who knows properly rather than someone who just managed to get it to build!

Prebuilt visual studio solutions can be found here... https://sourceforge.net/projects/my-gui ... 3.2.0_RC1/
Are you saying I still need to use cmake if I am using those?...

Anyway - don't you just add your Ogre header path to the VC++ "Configuration Properties->C/C++: Additional Include Directories", and Ogre lib path to ""Configuration Properties->Linker->General: Additional Library Directories" for the few projects which require Ogre? You need to be doing this for each PROJECT, not the SOLUTION, remember.

Thats my whole problem - The "ALL_BUILD" project has no where (that I can see at least) to specify the path to the ogre lib. There is no "Configuration Properties->C/C++: Additional Include Directories". Its just not there.

I assume pre-built SLns don't need CMAKE.

But, ALL_BUILD is not a C++ project, it is a special project to build all the actual code projects and copy files around to right places. You need to set include dirs on the specific projects which need Ogre... such as MyGUI.OgrePlatform and MyGUIEngine. Take a look at project properties on those and it should look more familiar.

Ah right you are! Ok so I am pointing all the 'ogrey' projects to my ogre include directory, but I am getting a new error about "ft2build.h" (free type?).

..\..\MyGUIEngine\src\MyGUI_ResourceTrueTypeFont.cpp(28) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ft2build.h': No such file or directory

also

\ogre_src_v1-7-1\ogremain\include\OgreConfig.h(35) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'OgreBuildSettings.h': No such file or directory

BTW is there some 'mygui dependencies' directory I can just copy the ogre headers to so that I dont have to manually point a hundred different projects?

The first one is because MyGUI requires freetype. This is normally included with Ogre since Ogre also uses it... typically in a dir called <ogre>/dependencies.

I don't know about the 2nd one - I think you'll have to play around and maybe ask on the main Ogre forum.

Ok I downloaded and built the ogre dependencies (freetype was among them). But configuring all these projects to point to the correct directories will be a royal pain. I see now that there is a OGRE_SRC and OGRE_HOME variable being used in all the projects that seem to depend on ogre. How do I set this variable in vs 2008 so that it points to my ogre directory?

Wohoo ok figured it out. Turns out the vs project depends on two environment variables (OGRE_HOME and OGRE_SRC). Not sure how you set them locally in vs, but I found this that explains how to set them globally in win 7....

http://www.itechtalk.com/thread3595.html

Point HOME to your ogre headers, and SRC to your ogre libs. And you also need to create a Dependencies folder in the MyGUI root dir, and toss in the freetype headers and lib. Everything builds fine now, no errors, BUT I get a crash when trying to run any of the demos, it looks like Ogre is complaining about some viewport orientation?

Zuh?

*edit

Guh, well I see in the ogre src for the viewport class...

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
OrientationMode Viewport::getOrientationMode() const
{
#if OGRE_NO_VIEWPORT_ORIENTATIONMODE != 0
OGRE_EXCEPT(Exception::ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED,
"Getting Viewport orientation mode is not supported",
__FUNCTION__);
#endif
return mOrientationMode;
}

I assume that flag was enabled in the 1.7.2 prebuilt ogre sdk (thats what I was linking MyGUI with). Do I need to build Ogre from source and turn off this flag? That doesnt seem right... whats going on here...

Gah well getting closer. I set the flag in my build settings so were not getting those viewport orientation errors anymore, but now I am getting a new error when I launch any of the demos...

Debug Error!

Run-Time check failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'stream' was corrupeted.

Unfortunately I dont see anything in the ogre log or my gui log....

Now I am completely stuck

*fyI I get the "Run-Time check failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'stream' was corrupeted." error when I call 'initialize' on my MyGUI::Gui instance. The call trace barfs at the call to OgreDataManager::getData(const std::string& _name). I have rebuilt mygui multiple times from scratch, both debug and release, yet I still get this damn 'Run-Time check failure #2' error when trying to run any of the demos.

Wohoo got it! Turns out it was an error in my OgreBuild settings, and MyGUI was not properly building with boost. The OGRE_HOME environment variable was pointing to a different/wrong ogre src directory which did not contain the correct OgreBuildSettings.h, so MyGUI was trying to link against a slightly 'off' ogre lib. Once I fixed that, the 'Run-Time check failure #2' error went away, and I can finally run all the demos!

Congratulations!
