Anael:  indeed it would be great to have cmake as the official multiplatform build system
if it can help , please find here  some potential improvements to add , it's not much really

i made a vsstudio solution from  Dahnielson's cmake files and had it working only by making those changes

here is the full solution https://code.google.com/p/maratis-vsstudio2012-build/
( possibly interesting for folks who just want to compile MaratisPlayer for windows and don't know cmake etc )

1 : yes, cmake should be able to generate usable visual studio projects,
but right now the cmake build system is a community fork, the official multi-platform build system is still scons.
I started to import Dahnielson cmake build to the official repository, so please list all your issues it's usefull

2 : The difference between MGui 1 and 2 is not huge but it will need some porting,
the best for you is to be sure to isolate the maximum of your code from MGui to minimize the effort.

before i upload it ,  i would have two questions :

1) do you guys think it would be possible to  update  the cmake files with some corrections regarding visual studio ? 
that way , vsstudio users could contribute to Maratis builds and easily make apps for Windows store ^^

i don't know cmake , but i could make a list of everything i had to change to make it work
also, it could be cool to add a "precompiled" .lib folder to the Maratis repository
that way , adding all the dependencies in visual studio wouldn't be needed

2) i'd like to add some stuff to my build of MaratisEditor , but would prefer not to have to redo everything once we switch to MguiV2 i had no time to explore MGui for now , but is MGuiV2 very different ? would it be a lot of work to port everything to V2 ?

MGui will be exposed when the code is stable enough.

is Maratis editor interface built using MGui ? (edit: yes it is )
if so , i guess it would be difficult to add new windows or menus and have them working with MGui v2
but i'll see if i can add some stuff even if i'd have to update it afterwards

unfortunately i don't know Cmake , but it could be interesting if cmake builds could be updated to work with vs2012 ^^
perhaps it will be easier to update them once there'll be a "recent" vs2012 build working

yes, X11 is only for unix systems.

Maratis editor code need to be ported, because I changed the structure of MGui.
But you can use the new MGui in your game plugin as a standalone library, be just aware that it is still a work in progress.

there was a discussion about it here : http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=788

preprocessor definitions are ignored by visual studio,
so in mWindow.h,

this doesn't seems to work

#ifdef Win32
    #include "WIN32/MWin32Window.h"
#elif __APPLE__
    #include "COCOA/MCocoaWindow.h"
#elif linux
    #include "X11/MX11Window.h"
#endif
#endif

MWin32Window.h is not included, so i would have to manually include mWin32Window.h and it would be bad to commit that , and i think there are many preprocessor definitions anyway
if anybody knows how to have them working it would be great

perhaps it's for the same reason i got some X11 related errors
( if i understand correctly, nothing x11 related should compile on windows ? )

anyway , i removed those files from the solution and it works great

also, do you guys think is it possible to compile the new MGui from the experimental branch and use it with the standard Maratis build ?

MCore compiles fine if i redo an empty vc project and add all the files , and link to .lib , .h  folders and so on
it's a little bit more difficult with MEngine but i guess i can make it work

the problem is if a big change is made (i'm still working on the actual branch , not the experimental branch)
the vs files would have to be updated separately from the cmake files

i also tried to make files for codeblocks + mingGW but cmake can't generate solution files :

Maratis 3.21.0
CMake Error at 3rdparty/openal-soft/CMakeLists.txt:145 (MESSAGE):
  Your compiler does not seem to have C99 inline semantics!

                               Please update your compiler for better C99 compliance.

( fatal error C1083: can't open include file : 'dirent.h' : No such file or directory )
would somebody have any clues on this ??

also , do you guys think it's possible to compile the experimental branch of Maratis using Danielhson's cmake files ?
i would love to work on some features for the editor , but it would require working with the branch everybody is working on

Im also unable to compile maratis with VS 2013 ( im not about to use anything older, I need this V. for windows 8 phone, blah).

I tried scons, but scons can't find 'cl.exe', even though I know its there and I have a path added for it:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin < 'cl' is there , I'm positive.

thx anyone ;0-
