Minimal Oculus Application Tutorial

What IDE are you using? I believe I made the tutorial w/ VS 2010 and I didn't have to do that.

I'm using VS2013, Oculus 0.3.2 and win32 as a build target. If found out which dependencies I was missing by pasting the config over from RoomTiny and then deleting until the linker failures showed up again.

The specific failures are:
"Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__SwapBuffers@4 referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall OVR::CAPI::GL::DistortionRenderer::EndFrame(bool,unsigned char *,unsigned char *)" (?EndFrame@DistortionRenderer@GL@CAPI@OVR@@UAEX_NPAE1@Z) C:\Users\redacted\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\MinimalOculus\MinimalOculus\libovrd.lib(CAPI_GL_DistortionRenderer.obj) MinimalOculus"

when gdi32.lib is not added and:

"Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__SHGetFolderPathW@20 referenced in function "class OVR::String __cdecl OVR::GetBaseOVRPath(bool)" (?GetBaseOVRPath@OVR@@YA?AVString@1@_N@Z) C:\Users\redacted\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\MinimalOculus\MinimalOculus\libovrd.lib(OVR_Profile.obj) MinimalOculus"

when shell32.lib is not added.

After those two additions it builds fine. OculusWorldDemo doesn't need either of them, but I'm guessing that is because RoomTiny already brings them in.

I'd be keen to check this out but unfortunately the wiki is 404.

Any chance of updating this to the new SDK?

thanks

I would also love to check out this wiki!

What happened to it! :?

To get this to work I also have to explicitly link to "shell32.lib" and "gdi32.lib", even though they are totally in the inherited values. If I don't link those two specifically I get Linker failures.

I had the exact same linker errors, and explicitly linking those libraries (even though they were inherited) fixed the errors! Thanks for posting.

Sorry, the Wiki is down and will need to some work to be replaced. Not sure when it will be back.

Does this mean that there is some error with the github also?

I cannot get it to work for some reason, the

if (ts.StatusFlags & ovrStatus_OrientationTracked)

statement is never true...

I see the line as:

if (ts.StatusFlags & (ovrStatus_OrientationTracked | ovrStatus_PositionTracked)) {

Does that help?

why can't I see any of these tutorials? I get redirected to the main dashboard page...

is there any other location where I can see this code?

The tutorials are gone now. I will speak with the team about bringing up something to replace them.
