[2.2] How to compile MyGUI for Ogre 2.2

[Lax]

Hi together,

I wanted to ask, if someone already ported the MyGUI Engine to Ogre2.2?
I get a lot of erros in Ogre2Platform project, because textures and compositors api has of course changed.

rujialiu I summon you!
he helped me with that task, and prefer if he shares it.
rujia, maybe you could make a branch/fork on the official myGui repo?

Arggg. I was also helped by rujialiu, but I did say I would create a PR with my changes but have failed to do that. I am not sure my approach to the changes is the most universal, but maybe I should at least make them public. I ve put it off because it requires git, which just irritates me! Ill try and find time this weekend

haha, I was too lazy and hoped that al2950 would find sometime to publish the changes earlier than I do...

That would be very nice. Even if your changes are not most universal, it must be better than what I originally sent you

ok, so it turns out I was even lazier than I thought. I think i took rujialiu changes and made them less sensible! I would really like to sort this properly so there is 1 ogre branch in mygui, with as much shared code as possible. This will obviously take a little while, and might be too messy to actually do. in the meantime I have uploaded what I currently use for 2.2:

Hello! I have MyGui working with Ogre 2.2 and OpenGL... the main usage for my is to render gui in to a texture that I use on some object inside the 3D scene.
Now I am porting my engine to Direct3D11 and all the MyGui stuffs don't show on the objects on the scene but it shows on the main render window :S

I am giving the correct texture when I call addWorkspace, and checked that the workspace has indeed the correct texture when update is being called. Also checked on renderdoc that the correct texture is not being filled with the gui image.

anyone else is using MyGui to render in to an Ogre 2.2 texture?

thanks!
