Hello again, I have tried to re-install SFML and when debugging in Visual Studio 2012 it will produce alot of errors. Now, I have tried again and again but it will still produce these errors. Essentially, the errors are saying that in the actual project files (sfml-audio, sfml-graphics etc), there are missing semi-colons and that. There is another error though, it says "m_info is not a member of s_font", and there are many more like that. Now, I am going to say it is probably me missing a step with CMake. I have used this tutorial http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/95295/#msg511542 (http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/95295/#msg511542).
Cheers!

Considering it says 2.0 is still a work in progress, that tutorial is clearly way out of date.
I got into SFML after 2.0 came out and honestly, I've never felt there was anything lacking in any of the official setup tutorials on this site (I've used the CMake and Visual Studio ones myself) and about half of the new topics on this forum are people who very obviously did not read the official tutorials carefully, because they failed to do something explicitly stated in the tutorials. So I'm confident those tutorials really do cover *all* of the common gotchas.
tl;dr, use the official tutorials because they don't suck (...anymore?)
-
Ok, now I went by this tutorial - http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/compile-with-cmake.php) - and it still comes up with the same errors. Please do help, and if you need any more info do ask
-
Could you paste the actual compiler output then? ie, all of the errors?

There you go

Do you have anything from SFML 1.6 floating around? Because some of those errors are occurring on lines where according to my source they just can't, eg the "missing type specifier" errors happen on lines consisting solely of "{" and a comment.
-
I do not believe so, but I did download it from the respiratory because that's the only place I can find the download with Cmakelists. Then I proceeded to download 2.1 and merge the folders. I assume that wasn't correct
-
You should probably download from the official download page http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.1/ unless you want to play with the nightly builds. That download definitely has the Cmakelists.
-
I am sad to say, but the download (32 AND 64 bit versions) do NOT include CmakeLists. I would appreciate it it someone could upload it to a file hosting site for me to download. Please
Cheers!
-
You're supposed to be downloading the source code. You don't need CMake if you aren't compiling SFML yourself.
-
Thank you, I did not know that. Now, is the file "All Build" needed? Because all I see in it is the cmakelists text file
Cheers!
-
Just use the official tutorial for compiling with CMake. If it's not in there, you probably don't need to know.
Edit: I don't see "All Builds" anywhere in the source code download (did a mass search). Where are you seeing it?
(not that it has any relevance to using CMake, but if you're seeing stuff I'm not that implies we've still got different files)
-
Ah, it's ok. It did seem to work without that file being open. Anyway, when compiling the folders it didn't decide to make a lib file in the root of SFML. Would this be Cmake or me being stupid?
-
1) as the tutorial says, the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS setting decides whether it links statically or dynamically
2) I believe it puts *all* the files in the build folder you specify, which probably shouldn't be SFML/lib
-
Okay, so, I followed the main tutorial many times. Now, it decides to throw me a "Your program cannot start becasue sfml-graphics-d-2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program and try again". After I tried to drag all the .dll to my executible (I didn't link SFML staticly), it now says "The app wasn't able to start correctly. (0xc0000007b). Click ok to close the app"
-
What program is failing to start?
(you need to provide way more information than that if you want us to figure out what's wrong)
-
Sorry, I thought it was assumed when I said that. I was making the program in the tutorial here - http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-vc.php (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-vc.php) -. Now, I followed the tutorial step by step multiple times. Now, the program starts but that error code appears
-
I thought it'd be one of the example programs that come with the source code. In fact I had no idea VS was involved.
Did you compile it in debug mode? Could you run it in debug mode so we get a meaningful error message?
-
This is the only output I can find, otherwise the other error code I posted
'SFMLTestA.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Users\Brandon Danyluk\Desktop\C++ Game Making (SFML)\SFMLTestA\Debug\SFMLTestA.exe'. Symbols loaded.

The program '[9460] SFMLTestA.exe' has exited with code -1073741701 (0xc000007b).
That is the only output I can find
-
It won't even tell you what statement it exits on?
Step through it with the debugger to get more info.
-
No, it doesnt say what it ends on. I have no idea why. And I am running it with the debugger, and that's all that shows. Please do tell me if you mean something else
Also, the console loads (it is a console app), but it will just pop up an error box saying "The program '[4428] SFMLTestA.exe' has exited with code -1073741701 (0xc000007b)."
Cheers!

Then you're most likely not running it through the debugger, otherwise the application would halt at the crash location.
Have you made sure that you don't mix debug/release modes/libraries?
You're still using the code from the tutorial, right?
-
sfml-graphics.lib is release, and sfml-graphics-d.lib is debug? If so, yes. And also, when using the release debug, thing, it does error with
Error 1 error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'sfml-graphics.lib' C:\Users\Brandon Danyluk\Desktop\C++ Game Making (SFML)\SFMLTestA\SFMLTestA\LINK SFMLTestA
-
Hello again, now when using release it says
The program can't start because sfml-graphics-2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
I have the file in my bin folder, and my folder where the exe is.
-
I'm pretty sure the .dlls should be in the same folder as the .exe, not inside an additional folder.
-
Thanks! It now works! Now, for future reference - Copy all DLL's to the executible. I just had to copy the DEBUG dlls aswell. As in sfml-graphics-d.dll.
Thanks for all the help!
-
Now, for future reference - Copy all DLL's to the executible.
Or just read the tutorials.
