InternalErrorException Could not load dynamic library Codec

InternalErrorException Could not load dynamic library Codec_STBI (2025)

Code: Select all

Added resource location 'D:/Projects/Ogre3D/ogre/build/sdk/Media' of type 'FileSystem' to resource group 'General'Added resource location 'D:/Projects/Ogre3D/ogre/build/sdk/Media/Main' of type 'FileSystem' to resource group 'OgreInternal'Added resource location 'D:/Projects/Ogre3D/ogre/build/sdk/Media/Terrain' of type 'FileSystem' to resource group 'OgreInternal'Added resource location 'D:/Projects/Ogre3D/ogre/build/sdk/Media/RTShaderLib' of type 'FileSystem' to resource group 'OgreInternal'

Check the "resources.cfg" file if you can just change them there to relative. Otherwise, debug the code where this actually happens, because there is no need for absolute file paths.

I don't know how to link the sdk to my CMake Project

You should not add those files to visual studio that way, I would remove them if I were you.

Here is how I link my project to my built Ogre SDK built from source:
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories:
C:\OgreSDK\include\OGRE
C:\OgreSDK\include\OGRE\Overlay
C:\OgreSDK\include
C:\OgreSDK\include\OGRE\MeshLodGenerator

Project -> Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories:
C:\OgreSDK\ogre\build\lib\$(Configuration)
C:\OgreSDK\ogre\build\Dependencies\lib

Then you also need to copy all the .dll files you want to use to where your .exe file is, and I use these (the _d are for your debug directory instead):

Code: Select all

Codec_STBI_d.dllCodec_STBI.dllOgreMain_d.dllOgreMain.dllOgreMeshLodGenerator_d.dllOgreMeshLodGenerator.dllOgreOverlay_d.dllOgreOverlay.dllPlugin_OctreeSceneManager_d.dllPlugin_OctreeSceneManager.dllPlugin_ParticleFX_d.dllPlugin_ParticleFX.dllRenderSystem_Direct3D9_d.dllRenderSystem_Direct3D9.dllRenderSystem_Direct3D11_d.dllRenderSystem_Direct3D11.dllzlib.dllzlib.dll

I also have a bat file that copies those automatically to all my projects that should use the Ogre source, since otherwise it would be very hard to have to manually copy all of them each time I alter something in the Ogre source code (which does happen time to time), but that bat file is too specific to post here.

Note that I usually gather my files with a bat file to easily be able to get everything in one place. Below is a bat file to gather all include files and directories into a single place (which is needed if you use the same Additional Include Directories as above):

After all this, you must also include what .h files from Ogre that you might need, and I use these in my Stdafx.h:
