Problem setting up CGUITTFont

[tronfortytwo]

I am trying to set up CGUITTFont but I get a building error.
I downloaded CGUITTFont 1.7.2 and IrrUstring.h, I added them to my project.
My system is a Debian x86_64 and my compiler is gcc 7.1.
My Irrlicht version is 1.8.4.
When I try to compile them I get:

Code: Select all

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, looks like that code is for Irrlicht 1.7.
I modified some TTF class (not sure if same as you didn't link to yours, but shouldn't matter) and you can find it at https://bitbucket.org/mzeilfelder/irr-p ... -micha/src
Copy the 2 CGUITTFont files (also ttf.cpp an example for using it, thought ignore the ride-side of screen when running that - that's just showing something I still need to debug).

You could also download the trunk version, which is slight update from the 1.7.2 version of the post I pointed you to (sorry for the confusion, I should have check that it didn't point to the latest version).

Here's a link to the trunk version.

Thank you both for your quick response. Using both the one from the linked repo or from trunk branch I got it to compile successfully with latest irrlicht.
