Controllermanager link error

Hey all, Hows it going. I had posted this originally in nxOgre, but after a few replies that didnt solve the problem was suggested to add it here. I am currently using nxOgre as my physics engine. I have compiled all the tutorials that came with nxOgre fine. I am currently trying to integrate it with a project i had done previously with ogreNewt. Right now its just a basic project. Im just trying to get the terrain going. I am getting a link error.

Code: Select all

1>Linking...
1>AnimationBlender.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall ControllerManager::~ControllerManager(void)" (__imp_??1ControllerManager@@QAE@XZ)
1>AnimationBlender.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall ControllerManager::ControllerManager(void)" (__imp_??0ControllerManager@@QAE@XZ)
1>C:\NxOgre\bin\Release\Practice.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

I am using current version of dagon and i am using VS8. Other libraries are OIS, nxOgre and SDL. Just to tell you how i have everything set up. All nxOgre headers come before ogre headers. I am compiling in release mode because this is how it has to be with nxOgre. I am in nxOgres bin/release. I think thats everything. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

PhysX and Ogre both have a ControllerManager class this is a namespace conflict.

some advices to find this error:

Never use "using namespace ..." in .h-files you mostly cannot say where it is included.

If you use it in .cpp Files be sure to not use "using namespace Ogre" and "using namespace Nx" in the same file.

This is automatically patched up in NxOgre.

I asked mmm23 to post here, as I and others have been trying to fix this problem for him in the NxOgre forum with no success and I think it's an Ogre or OIS issue.

Also the NxOgre tutorials work perfectly so it's something else.

Thanks for the quick responce. Thats one of the first things i tried. I was browsing these forums and saw some one had a similar problem with linking but they werent using nxOgre. So i went back and took out all using namespace Ogre and replaced all ogre names directly eg. Ogre::Vector3, Ogre::SceneManager, nxOgre::world ... etc. But it came back with the same error.

Triple-check that you've added OgreMain.lib to your linker input.

OIS has no ControllerManager

I also use Ogre, PhysX, OIS and Raknet for me it works

mnm23 if your project is not too big u can send it to me and i will check it.

pm me for my email

*gr*

next time send your solution files, took me 30 minutes to build a solution on my own.

Your error is simple

just include NxCharacter.lib

Sorry for not including the solution file. Your solution worked. Thanks a lot.

Ha! After all of that is was NxCharacter.lib

Programming can be really weird sometimes.
