I get the intention to add cegui to the installer, but it's the wrong repository for the rest of the information and the cmake/build instructions. Because this installer repository bundles only already build stuff, for example the libfife-dependencies.

1. The correct location to build the cegui dependency is the superbuild project of fifengine.
   You need to handle CeGui like Fifechan in the dependencies:

• add option: https://github.com/fifengine/fifengine/blob/master/dependencies/CMakeLists.txt#L76
• add conditional external project include (based on option): https://github.com/fifengine/fifengine/blob/master/dependencies/CMakeLists.txt#L125
• create get-cegui.cmake (ExternalProject_Add)
  • add pre-build mingw, if available
  • add pre-build msvc, if available
  • and/or build from source with custom configuration
    • all the CEGUI_BUILD stuff would go here

2. After that, Fifengine itself searches for cegui, when cegui is enabled.

Once cegui is build fifengine would be linked against it, either statically or dynamically.
That produces 3 more libfife artifacts of the fifengine repo: libfife-with-cegui-static + libfife-with-cegui-dynamic + the extra and optional libfife-cegui-dependency package.

3. Finally, you can add it to the installer. By consuming the libfife-cegui-dependency (and probably the optionally linked cegui libfife-builds, too).

Thanks for the info jakoch :-)

Found cegui on appveyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cegui-ci/cegui/history

Something like this should work for building CEGUI for FIFE:

set cegui_deps_source_dir=??? (where cegui dependencies source package was extracted)
set cegui_deps_build_dir=??? (choose whatever)
set cegui_source_dir=??? (where cegui source package was extracted)
set cegui_build_dir=??? (choose whatever)

mkdir %cegui_deps_build_dir%
cd %cegui_deps_build_dir%
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14" %cegui_deps_source_dir%
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release

mkdir %cegui_source_dir%\dependencies
xcopy /Y /S %cegui_deps_build_dir%\dependencies %cegui_source_dir%\dependencies

mkdir %cegui_build_dir%
cd %cegui_build_dir%
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14" -D BOOST_ROOT:PATH=%boost_root% -D CEGUI_BUILD_APPLICATION_TEMPLATES:BOOL=OFF -D CEGUI_BUILD_PYTHON_MODULES:BOOL=ON -D CEGUI_SAMPLES_ENABLED:BOOL=OFF %cegui_source_dir%
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release

Need to be done:
Find cmake scripts:

• libexpat
• glew
• glfw
• glm
• pcre
