linking error

hey,

im trying to compile OgreNewt for the first time, im getting these linking errors -

1> Creating library lib\Debug_DLL\OgreNewt_Main_d.lib and object lib\Debug_DLL\OgreNewt_Main_d.exp

1>OgreNewt_Debugger.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall Line3D::drawLines(void)" (?drawLines@Line3D@@QAEXXZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall OgreNewt::Debugger::showLines(class OgreNewt::World *)" (?showLines@Debugger@OgreNewt@@QAEXPAVWorld@2@@Z)

1>lib\Debug_DLL\OgreNewt_Main_d.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals

im using vc8 and the OgreSDK to compile with.

thanks

please read the documentation about OgreNewt::Debugger. you need to include Line3D.cpp (in ogrenewt/demos/include). it is done this way because with the release of Dagon, hopefully we will be able to remove the line3d stuff and just use ManualObject.

I found a nice neat little tutorial on how to setup OgreNewt without any problems.

The tutorial is on the wiki and can be found here.

I'm having the same problem here in Dagon. Spent about 3 days trying to get this compile and this is all I have left.

Seems to be a line3d.h file, but I really can't see anything wrong. I've started building the project many many times and it always stubles on this last bit.

Any help would be great, as far as I can tell this is the last problem I have with building our Dagon project in VC2005.

Hmmm, maybe I should have started a new thread, but it seems to be the same problem.

I'm not an expert at this, but usually it helps if you post your Ogre.log file too. THen we'll know what exactly is the problem

you need to include "Line3D.cpp" into your project, so it gets compiled. you can find Line3d.cpp in ogrenewt/demos/include.

figured it out thank's. I'm a complete newbie to C++ figured you just added the dir's and that was it. Didn't realise you have to add the existing .cpp files manualy for them to compile with your project.

Anyway thats that sorted, got ogrenewt and ofusion scene loader working in our Ogre wrapper for Blitzmax now
