Overview

The following describes the available options when building CEGUI and what they do. Please note that until you are more familiar with CEGUI and the build, the general advice is to leave things alone – that is, build or install the dependencies required for the choices you made regarding what functionality you intend to use and then let cmake configure things based on those.

General Options

CEGUI_HAS_FREETYPE

Specifies whether to include Freetype2 font support

CEGUI_HAS_PCRE_REGEX

Specifies whether to include PCRE regexp matching for editbox string validation

CEGUI_HAS_MINIZIP_RESOURCE_PROVIDER

Specifies whether to build the minizip based resource provider

CEGUI_HAS_DEFAULT_LOGGER

Specifies whether to build the DefaultLogger implementation

CEGUI_USE_FRIBIDI

Specifies whether bi-directional text will be supported via the fribidi library.

Note: You may not enable both CEGUI_USE_FRIBIDI and CEGUI_USE_MINIBIDI. Please choose only one of these options.

CEGUI_USE_MINIBIDI

Specifies whether bi-directional text will be supported via the embedded minibidi.

Note: You may not enable both CEGUI_USE_FRIBIDI and CEGUI_USE_MINIBIDI. Please choose only one of these options.

CEGUI_STRING_CLASS

Which string class should CEGUI use:

1 - utf8 and utf32 aware inbuilt string,
2 - std::string without custom allocation,
3 - std::basic_string allocated according to allocator config" )

CEGUI_CUSTOM_ALLOCATORS

If checked, CEGUI can use custom allocation. (for experienced developers only!)

CEGUI_CUSTOM_ALLOCATORS_DEBUG

If checked, CEGUI allocations will pass debug info to allocators. (only used if CEGUI_CUSTOM_ALLOCATORS is checked)

CEGUI_CUSTOM_ALLOCATORS_INCLUDE

Which include file contains memory allocators and allocation configuration. (only used if CEGUI_CUSTOM_ALLOCATORS is checked) We have bundled 2 allocators, mostly for demonstration purposes.

CEGUI/MemoryStdAllocator.h contains malloc allocator, use it as a starting point for your own allocators
CEGUI/MemoryOgreAllocator.h delegates allocation to Ogre, which may be useful to Ogre users (you will have to manually change linking options of CEGUIBase!)

CEGUI_BUILD_STATIC_CONFIGURATION

Specifies whether the static configs will be built. (NB: Shared configs are always built)

CEGUI_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS_WITH_STATIC_DEPENDENCIES

For WIN32 and APPLE where the dependency pack is used, prefer the static dependency libs over the shared/dynamic ones.

Note: On Windows you also need to be mindful of which C/C++ runtime setting has been used to compile the various components - they must all match or you will get crashes, heap corruption and/or other issues.

CEGUI_BUILD_SUFFIX

String holding a suffix appended to the name of output binaries (under CMake build, only used for debug, defaults to "_d" on Windows and Apple, defaults to no suffix elsewhere).

CEGUI_BUILD_TESTS

Specifies whether to build the regression and performance tests.

CEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_DIRECTFB
