How to create window in C++?

Avi_Shah · September 21, 2020, 10:05am

I have been using using Panda3D with python till now. I realised that there is a C++ version also. So I tried to make a (basic) window in C++. I downloaded the SDK and copied the include folder to my C++ workspace. I then took code from online, that makes a basic window. I copy-pasted this program from the Panda3D documentation. However this error comes up:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'pandaFramework.h': No such file or directory

EDIT: I found out that you have to build it. I have built it and installed it, what next, I still get the error.

You don’t have to build Panda from source; you can just use the SDK .exe from the download page.

You do need to follow the instructions here to set your Include Directories and Library Directories properly:
https://docs.panda3d.org/1.10/cpp/introduction/running-your-program

I did follow the steps. The only difference is that I am using CLion. Surely that isn’t the problem. I think I have to include other libraries from lib, which ones though? I keep getting this error:

Yes, you are now missing the library references, such as libpanda.lib. The list that you’ll need is also in the above manual page.

I don’t know how to set these in CLion, but I’m sure it’s possible.

Avi_Shah · September 21, 2020, 12:22pm

Included the library:

#include "C:\ProgramFiles\Panda3D-1.11.0-x64\include\pandaFramework.h"
#include "C:\ProgramFiles\Panda3D-1.11.0-x64\include\pandaSystem.h"
#include "C:\ProgramFiles\Panda3D-1.11.0-x64\lib\libpanda.lib"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    // Open a new window framework
    PandaFramework framework;
    framework.open_framework(argc, argv);

    // Set the window title and open the window
    framework.set_window_title("My Panda3D Window");
    WindowFramework *window = framework.open_window();

    // Here is room for your own code

    // Do the main loop, equal to run() in python
    framework.main_loop();
    framework.close_framework();
    return (0);
}

You need to add these paths in your compiler settings, not as header files in your source code.

Avi_Shah · September 21, 2020, 1:51pm

I think you have to add

add_library(panda3d lib)

in the Cmake.txt. Am I right?

rdb · September 21, 2020, 3:08pm

In CMake I think it’s more something like target_link_libraries.

Avi_Shah · September 22, 2020, 3:03am

add_library()
target_link_library()

None of these work, they raise an error.
Only this works without raising error in Cmake.txt:

link_directories()

But it raises error in my Panda3D.cxx.

EDIT:

link_libraries()

also works in CMake.txt, but not in Panda3D.cxx. But it raises a smaller error:

How are you using these functions? In particular target_link_libraries? Can you show it to me including the arguments?

Avi_Shah · September 22, 2020, 1:45pm

CMake.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(untitled)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
add_library(lib)  //included in project folder, tried target_link_library(), link_directories(), link_libraries()
add_executable(untitled Panda3D.cxx)

rdb · September 29, 2020, 2:44pm

You are using these functions wrong. Consult the CMake documentation to find out how to use target_link_libraries.
