These instructions are for Visual Studio 2008 Express on Windows. Some of the smaller details might need more looking at but the general steps are there.
I didn't get the events working with the downloadable libs so I needed to compile it myself:
- Download the source
- Download these libs:
Devil - http://openil.sourceforge.net
Freetype2 - http://www.freetype.org
Pcre - http://www.pcre.org
If you want LUA support you need LUA - http://www.lua.org/
- add the libs to the libs folder and include files to dependencies/include
- go to 'makefiles/premake' and setup config.lua to use the above libs (i used without samples option)
- run build_vs2008.bat
- open CEGUI.sln and make sure the include dirs and libs are correct
- compile it
- now that is compiled, open up glest 0.3
- if you compiled as static lib you need to add dependencies to glest too (not shared_lib)
- copy headers to include dir and libs to lib dir:
(_d.lib for debug configuration and without _d for release otherwise there are problems with events)
CEGUIBase_Static_d.lib
CEGUIDevILImageCodec_Static_d.lib
CEGUIFalagardWRBase_Static_d.lib
CEGUITinyXMLParser_Static_d.lib
OpenGLGUIRenderer_Static_d.lib
pcre.lib
ILUT.lib
ILU.lib
DevIL.lib
winmm.lib (needed for "symbol __imp__timeGetTime@0")
- Additional DLLs needed (more if others arent static libs):
ILU.dll
ILUT.dll
DevIL.dll
freetype6.dll
- add CEGUI_STATIC to preprocessor definitions
- add "stlport_vc7_static.lib;LIBC.lib" to "Ignore Specific Library"
- try compiling
- download the data files
- copy binaries to data files
CEGUI creates CEGUI.log when you run the exe.
