CEGUI doesn't work

Question

I've Ogre3D SDK v1.9 and CEGUI 0.8 and here's my problem . I followed the tutorial in the wiki of cegui and it says me that I have to use cmake. That's what I did but when I click on the button 'Configure' there is an error :

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
   used as include directory in directory C:/CEGUI/cegui/src/RendererModules/Ogre

BUT even i get this error I can continue and click on the button 'generate' anyway.

However when the build is done, i try to build cegui.svn and i get just one error :

Creating library C:/CEGUI/build/lib/CEGUIOgreRenderer-0_d.lib and object 
23>C:\CEGUI\build\bin\CEGUIOgreRenderer-0_d.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 106 unresolved externals

and a lot of external symbol unresolved before this error.

Actually, I noticed that CEGUIOgreRenderer-0_d.dll wasn't in my folder , I suppose visual studio failed to make the dll file.

Can you help me please? :)

Thanks

You need to config the boost library dir into system environment path before you build CEGUI.

Following are the variable and its sample value:

BOOST_INCLUDEDIR      G:\OgreSDK_vc11_v1-9-0\boost
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR      G:\OgreSDK_vc11_v1-9-0\boost\lib
BOOST_ROOT            G:\OgreSDK_vc11_v1-9-0\boost

Check them after you click cmake-gui configure.

Besides, the link error may also caused by wrong link configure, for visual studio, check the Project -- Property -- Linker -- Additional ..., and add the specific xxx.lib at that box.
