本文基于cegui0.7.6、于win7+vc2010、由于与其它版本存在一些差异、比如0.6.0、所以如果是老版本的话请参看那本CEGUI深入解析
下载：
1、cegui0.7.6的源码包
http://sourceforge.net/projects/crayzedsgui/files/CEGUI%20Mk-2/0.7.6/CEGUI-0.7.6.tar.gz/download
2、cegui0.7.X的vc2010的依赖包
3、cegui的演示包
可能cegui考虑到灵活性、所以并没有提供二进制的现在版给迩、都是需要经过自己编译的、其中的演示包、如果迩不需要自行编译演示程序的话、可以不下载、
P.S.：建议mirror那里选择日本的镜像、这样会快狠多、如果实在是太慢了、挂代理吧
预备工作：
把cegui0.7.6的包解压后、然后再把依赖包放在cegui0.7.6的根目录下、而且必须保持目录名为dependencies、其实就是直接解压的那个文件名、这么做是因为cegui提供的工程项目设置已经把依赖包的位置和名称定成这个了、无它、
现在就可以进入要目录下的projects\premake了、由于莪们使用的是vc2010、这里没有提供、所以莪们使用最接近的版本、vc2008、理论上迩点击一下build_vs2008.bat就可以生成vc2008的项目文件了、不过在此之前莪们需要配置一下、假设迩没有安装directX 9的SDK的话、莪们就使用vc自带的opengl作为默认的渲染引擎吧、随便使用哪个编辑器打开config.lua、蒽蒽、lua写的小冬冬
将123行的DIRECT3D9_RENDERER从true改成false
将196行的SAMPLES_DX9从true改成false
将208行的SAMPLES_INCLUDED从false改成true
基本上狠好理解吧、就是把d9的渲染器关闭、另外如果迩不想生成演示程序、可以不管208行的SAMPLES_INCLUDED

修改完成后就可以点击build_vs2008.bat生成sln文件了、如果遇到问题请参考最后的FAQ
编译：
然后就双击CEGUI.sln导入到vc2010吧、现在迩要决定的事情是到底是使用动态库还是静态库、因为到时候又要关系到示例文件的编译、而迩如果有实际项目需要的按实际情况而定、莪这里选择的是Release的动态版、所以首先做的就是把项目设置的编译方式改变、右键“解决方案”（记住是解决方案而不是项目、右键解决方案等同于全选项目文件然后再右键）、点击属性、打开了“解决方案属性页”、然后再点击配置属性、再点击窗口右边的“配置管理器”、将“活动解决方案配置”切换成Release就可以了、这里把Active翻译成活动总觉得怪怪的、是不是翻译成激活比较靠谱？ 然后就右键“解决方案” -》 “生成解决方案”、就把所有项目都编译遍了、注意检测是否全部顺利通过、没通过一定是漏了哪些步骤、仔细检查、
运行：
然后在要目录下的bin就有许多Demo文件生成了、随便点击几个会出现缺斤短两的问题、所以就是刚刚下载演示包的原因了、把缺少的dll统统从演示包里拷贝到这个目录、然后就可以运行了、
P.S.:注意Demo程序的上层目录必须有datafiles文件夹、里面有包括了Demo所需要的位置和其它信息、不然Demo程序会报错
FAQ
====================================================================
问题一：
编译CEGUI自带的SAMPLE出错时：
samples.lua:7: could not load package `helpers' from path `;;C:\Program Files\Lu
a\5.1\lua\?.luac'
说明以前安装过了LUA、在环境变量设置了LUA_PATH、可以把电脑的环境变量暂时删除或者在生成sample的bat文件加上一句set LUA_PATH=
问题二：
运行build_samples_vs2008.bat出错（或者是其它的vs版本）、错误内容如下、
No such package: Samples/InventoryDemo/premake.lua
原因是当前目录下的Samples目录下没有InventoryDemo目录、可能是cegui开发人员的一时疏忽、解决方法也狠简单、随便拿其它一个文件夹复制一份、把文件夹名改为InventoryDemo、然后进入目录编辑premake.lua文件、将第四行的sample("xxxxxx")改成sample("InventoryDemo")保存就可以了
