OgreDotNet v1.2

update 2006-03-24

OgreDotNet v1.2 needs OGRE v1.2RC1, swig-1.3.29


Ok this is basically a get it working update. Some new interfaces but mostly just what was needed. OgreDotNet needs your help testing, finding what needs to be added or fixed. There are still a lot of TODO's and ignores to figureout but if you identify something important we can get that done first.

edit:
if cvs is down grab it here http://www.ceejs.com/eric/ogredotnet_cvs.zip

Rastaman: I don't know if you changed the post build events or what, but somehow they no longer have the parts of the command wrapped in quotes.

This is important because the paths being copied to may have spaces in them, which will break the copy command.

The command I had coming out was like this:

copy Debug\CeguiDotNet.pdb z:\Data\Visual Studio Projects\ogreaddons\ogredotnet\CeguiNet\..\Bin\Debug

As you can see, that's problematic.

I wrapped the paths in quotes.

ETA: I replaced the "$(ProjectDir)..\Bin\" part with "$(SolutionDir)Bin\"

Because the Demos were moved to the Samples folder, the copy command for those had ..\..\ in it, while the others had ..\

I saw that as messy, and I found a better variable to use.

So now the entire copy command for post-build events is:

For DLLs
copy "$(TargetName).dll" "$(SolutionDir)Bin\$(ConfigurationName)"
copy "$(TargetName).pdb" "$(SolutionDir)Bin\$(ConfigurationName)"

or

For Demo EXEs
copy "$(TargetName).exe" "$(SolutionDir)Bin\$(ConfigurationName)"
copy "$(TargetName).pdb" "$(SolutionDir)Bin\$(ConfigurationName)"

I just recompiled and got all but the Gangsta stuff compiled and copied properly... (I don't have the gangsta dependancies installed yet, so they never compile).

Looking good so far! Now to recompile the 1.2 version of the PLSM2 plugin... *sigh*

yes i changed the post build events a while back, wasn't thinking about spaces
but I think we should remove the pdb copy. as far as i can tell they are not needed. Plus when doing a batch build of everything debug and release all the release thing give an error because theres is no pdb file.

GangstaNet is working now. you don't need a patch just for the bindings any more, but I think you will need to apply a patch for Dagon changes as cvs isn't updated yet, its in the patch section on the sourceforge page.

Yeah, I was wondering about the PDB thing... I didn't think they were needed, but hell, they don't hurt anything. If you want, I'll remove the copy commands from the batch builds and update the project files on CVS.

You misunderstand... I don't have the gangsta stuff at all. No headers for swig to reference, etc... I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Okay, CVS updated.

EaagleEye: I don't like that $(SolutionDir) thing. When I include any of the project in another solution it tries to copy to an invalid path (new solution folder) and throws errors on the build because of it.

Ack! Okay... do you want to change it back or should I?
