Very confused: build problems (VS2003)

Hi everyone,

I'm really impressed with what I've seen from Ogre, OgreDotNet and the community so far, but I'm very confused as to how to get it to build!

My VS2003 has VB.NET, C# and C++ support installed, I also have the platform SDK and newest DirectX SDK set up, if that is of any relevance.

I've been following the wiki instructions as best I can, here is what I did:

1) Downloaded (and installed to C:\OgreSDK) the Ogre SDK from here.

2) Used tortoiseCVS to get OgreDotNet using command ":pserver:anonymous@ogre.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ogre".

3) Downloaded latest version (swigwin-1.3.29) of, and set up, SWIG. The environment variable is set up.

4) Opened "OgreDotNet.sln", checked the C++ library and include paths as per the wiki.

5) Attempted to build the debug version.

After much puffing and grunting from my PC it partially succeeds. GangstaDotNet doesn't work, so I remove the Gangsta* projects (don't need them yet) and the DemoGAPyramid demo, and attempted to build again.

All the *.cs files are generated except for those in OgreNet.CeguiRenderer - OgreBindings_Cegui.cs, OgreBindings_CeguiPINVOKE.cs, OgreCEGUIRenderer.cs, OgreCEGUIResourceProvider.cs and OgreCEGUITexture.cs.

So I try to manually compile each *.i file from the *Bindings projects. The all work except OgreBindings.Cegui.i in the project OgreBindings_Cegui, which gives the output:

They appear to be the C++ versions of the missing OgreCEGUIRenderer.cs, OgreCEGUIResourceProvider.cs and OgreCEGUITexture.cs files?

Looking where it is looking (C:\OgreSDK\include and C:\OgreSDK\include\CEGUI) I can't find these files, either. In C:\OgreSDK\include\CEGUI I can however find: CEGUIRenderer.h, CEGUIResourceProvider.h and OgreCEGUITexture.h. So I edited OgreBindings.Cegui.i, changing all #include and %include references to the .h files that I could find. If I now try to compile it gives:

Where c:\OgreSDK\include\CEGUI\CEGUIRenderer.h(68) is:

class CEGUIEXPORT Renderer : public EventSet

I'm really stuck now . I hope that someone can point out where I have gone wrong...

Thanks a lot,

I ran into simalar ammounts of problems trying to compile the source.

Do you specifically need to build it from source or are you just interested in using the final DLLs? If so you might jsut want to downlaod the precompiled versions here:

http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/viewtopic.php?t=1203

However I am afraid I cannot help you wiht your underlying problem as I ran into it myself and coundn't solve it. (Using VS.net 2005)

The headers you need are in ogresdk/samples/include/OgreCEGUI*.h just copy them to ogresdk/include
