Example file ogre3d+myGUI

Hello everyone.

I'm sitting at my little project for 7 days and I am getting depressed because constantly something is not working as it should. My config is win7 x86, ogre3d 1.7.3 prebuilt + myGUI 3.2 RC1 + visual studio 2010.


I'd like to ask you guys for some favor. I need to learn to how should looks the final release application (Ogre3D + myGUI). It's enough it will be standard ogre framework build by ogre3d wizard and added to it code and files from myGUI with standard layout.

I've read all that stuff from ..tikiwiki/MyGUI but I still cannot find ready example or sth. Those remarks are not fully understood to me. I am at stage appling myGUI to ogre3d.

That's how I include and initialise myGUI in my project.
MyGUI::Gui* mGUI;
MyGUI::OgrePlatform* mPlatform = new MyGUI::OgrePlatform();
mPlatform->initialise(mWindow, mSceneMgr); // mWindow is Ogre::RenderWindow*, mSceneManager is Ogre::SceneManager*
mGUI = new MyGUI::Gui();
mGUI->initialise("moje_gui.xml");

And after build, VS throws this:
1> All outputs are up-to-date.
1>ManifestResourceCompile:
1> All outputs are up-to-date.

You need to link against the FreeType library. You can do this by adding a reference to this library (e.g., FreeType.lib) to the list of Additional Dependencies under the Linker | Input page of your project's properties.

You also need to link freetype2311_d.lib / freetype2311.lib (or whatever version you have) when you use static MyGUI build.

Also I added this info to wiki page.

Ad1. It helps indeed, I thought that libs (freetype) was included earlier. Thanks

Ad2. I have only one more question. In Quickstart MyGUI there is wrote:
Before you initialize the GUI, be sure to create a viewport. This is sent to the OgrePlatform class and stores it for use later during the "initialise" method call.

How should I unerdstand this? I need additional viewport for myGUI or I just need to remeber that all ogre project needs a viewport, one for all in this case?

How should I unerdstand this? I need additional viewport for myGUI or I just need to remeber that all ogre project needs a viewport, one for all in this case?You don't need an additional viewport, but in case if you have Ogre::RenderWindow and Ogre::SceneManagers, but not created any viewports yet.

Hey, I'm sorry I don't have input on how to fix your problem but how in the world did you even get it to work on visual studio 2010?! I can't find how anywhere! All I've seen is that stupid cmake tutorial which btw I can't get to work to save my life. I need this GUI so bad but it's so poorly documented on how to actually get it up and running.

Can somebody PLEASE help me with this.
