Trouble with OgreBindings

Sorry guys, I'm completely new to Ogre, and this is my first crack and installing it.

I downloaded the prebuilt dlls and I've placed them in c:\OgreSDK\bin\debug\

I'm trying to build some of the sample projects, like DemoParticleFX. It compiles; however, I get a runtime error of:

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.DllNotFoundException' occurred in ogredotnet.dll

Additional information: Unable to load DLL (OgreBindings)."

I checked, and the OgreBindings.dll exists under the OgreSDK\bin\debug\ folder.


Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Can you C&P the full exception?

I work with Truefun, and am getting the same error as he is:

There are no real details for the exception, but I did snag the callstack out of VS.NET

> ogredotnet.dll!SWIGExceptionHelper..cctor() + 0x234 bytes
ogredotnet.dll!OgreDotNet.OgreBindingsPINVOKE..cctor() + 0x18 bytes
ogredotnet.dll!OgreDotNet.Root.Root() + 0x11 bytes
ogredotnet.dll!OgreDotNet.ExampleApplication.Setup() + 0x30 bytes
ogredotnet.dll!OgreDotNet.ExampleApplication.Start() + 0x10 bytes

Hope this helps. Eager to get crankin' on this engine

Just an update... I've tried creating a simple project, which just inherits ExampleAnimation:


public class OgreDotNetTest : OgreDotNet.ExampleApplication
{
public OgreDotNetTest()
{
}

protected override void CreateScene()
{
}

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using(OgreDotNetTest app = new OgreDotNetTest() )
{
app.Start();
}
}
}


The "Unable to load DLL (OgreBindings)" error is thrown on app.Start().

Has anyone come across this error?

Make sure you copy not just the DLLs, but also the PDB files as well.

I only run into the error when I run it in release mode. When I run it in Debug, I get the following pop up.

This can't be that hard to setup...

I'm tempted to uninstall everything and start over.

Does anyone have any additional advise, outside of whats in the Wiki?

If you don't have C++ Net 2003 installed, then
you need also some dll's.

www.dll-files.com

msvcr71d.dll
msvcp71d.dll

These files are nessesary for the debugging version of ogredotnet.

Good luck.

OgreDotNet is built with the debug version of Ogre, so of course it links to the debug version of Ogre, _d.

You can compile to release mode and then rename the main Ogre DLL postfixed with _d.

If you don't have C++ Net 2003 installed, then
you need also some dll's.

msvcr71d.dll
msvcp71d.dll

These files are nessesary for the debugging version of ogredotnet.

Good luck.

We have .NET 2003 installed. Going to try the solution regarding the renaming of the dlls without the appended _d.

Will post once I try that.

If you get a missing entry point, you have the incorrect OGRE SDK version. (Too new or too old)

WE found out that we were using 1.0.5.

When is the wrapper gonna be upgraded to that, btw?

I'm not sure what's going on with Maleficus... he's been incommunicato for over 2 weeks now.

I'm not sure if he's pissed, or just tired of talking about this project or what...

You can still get 1.0.4 files here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... up_id=2997
