Compiled OGRE 1.7.0 "Cthugha" & Hydrax 0.5

Hey

I resolved the two compile errors below with CThugha: see the next post

1) Since rev 8459 the SceneNode doesn't inherit anymore from Renderable .

Hence Hydrax doesn't compile because it uses getWorldTransforms

1>.\src\Hydrax\Modules\SimpleGrid\SimpleGrid.cpp(306) : error C2039: 'getWorldTransforms' : is not a member of 'Ogre::SceneNode'
etc


Should we use SceneNode::_getFullTransform() ?

2) The line 306 of CfgFileManager.cpp:

std::vector<Ogre::String> Cmpnts = Ogre::StringUtil::split(CfgFile.getSetting("Components"), "|");
gives this error

1>.\src\Hydrax\CfgFileManager.cpp(305) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'std::vector<_Ty,_Ax>' to 'std::vector<_Ty>'
1> with
1> [
1> _Ty=Ogre::String,
1> _Ax=Ogre::STLAllocator<Ogre::String,Ogre::GeneralAllocPolicy>
1> ]
1> and
1> [
1> _Ty=Ogre::String
1> ]
1> No constructor could take the source type, or constructor overload resolution was ambiguous

I will work on it.

There are 8 lines to modify:

1) The line 305 of SimpleGrid.cpp and line 414, 422, 437 and 445 of Mesh.cpp must be modified from something like this:

mEntity->getParentSceneNode()->getWorldTransforms(&mWorldMatrix);
to
mWorldMatrix = mEntity->getParentSceneNode()->_getFullTransform();


2) The line 306 of CfgFileManager.cpp must be set to

Ogre::vector<Ogre::String>::type Cmpnts = Ogre::StringUtil::split(CfgFile.getSetting("Components"), "|");


3) The line 290 of CfgFileManager.cpp to

bool CfgFileManager::_isStringInList(const Ogre::vector<Ogre::String>::type &List, const Ogre::String &Find)


4) The line 159 of CfgFileManager.h to:

static bool _isStringInList(const Ogre::vector<Ogre::String>::type &List, const Ogre::String &Find);


5) Might I also suggest to remove either HYDRAX_EXPORTS or HYDRAX_LIB from the vc8 files. It is confusing. Btw IMO using HYDRAX_EXPORTS is more explicit. For me HYDRAX_LIB is to compile a static version of the library.

6) I suggest to use an #if (OGRE_VERSION_MINOR < 7) #else #endif to make it backward compatible for the vector<string>

7) Also don't forget to set HAVE_OGRE_BUILDSETTINGS_H if you have some special settings (such as not using this *ç/"&**!!! NedAlloc.

8 ) Could you make the project as if it was an Ogre sample ? This would permit to have only relative paths and would make it much easier to compile the first time.

That's it.

Bye

Are you sure that the right attribute is referred to as "::type"? I have tried this and ::type does not exist. I am now attempting a compile using ::value_type instead.

The comment above happens to be incorrect, unlike the rest of the thread.

I know this is an old post, however since I recently went to check out hydrax these instructions helped me immensely!
Thank you.

Something of note, there is now an Ogre::StringVector define which clears things up further from std::vector<Ogre::String>::type.

Oh, my bad:
