But if you want to use SFML 2 dll files, but your application tells you that it is looking for SFML 1.6 dlls, you're obviously mixing up some libs

.
By the way: I would recommend to you not to copy your librarys into your projects directory. Just set your directorys in VC2010 to the appropriate SFML folders(These paths would be interesting for us)

I uploaded my own SFML 2 binarys. So you can test it with these files. They are working fine for me, so they should work for you, too

ok...Just let me know this whether its going right or not about the following:

1) Using the SFML 2 i am getting these files for debug mode

sfml-audio-d.lib
sfnl-audio-d-2.dll

same for graphics, windows,system ,network and only sfml-main-d.lib.

2) I add the include files of SFML 2 and link with -d.lib files

The compilation is successful

Then i run it ...then it shows error
"the program cannot start because sfml-graphics-d.dll is missing from your system"

I know in the debug folder of my project i have to put the .dll files to run...but my question is since it has not generated -d.dll because it has generated -d-2.dll, how can it be solved.

if i am right it should have generated -d.dll files instead of -d-2.dll ones from the SFML source compilation

Are you sure that you're running the executable which is linked to SFML 2, and not an older one linked to SFML 1 for example?

No.
The naming is correct for SFML 2 libraries, only programs linked to SFML 1 (or older SFML 2) would depend on "-d.dll" SFML files.

Yes i am running the executable which is linked to sfml 2.

what i am doing is straight forward like:
Simple windows displaying code -> linked with library files generated with sfml 2 ( compilation successful)

if the library is different then i would have got linker errors??

But when i run there is a problem with .dll files as mentioned in my previous posts

Have you tried Fred_FS's files?

vicer1234 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 15, 2011, 11:22:04 am »

yeah I did tried Fred's files but getting the same run time error.

"The application cannot start as sfml-graphics-d.dll is missing from your system."

This is impossible, really. There's no way it can look for "-d.dll" files if you link to SFML 2 libraries.

What I suggest is that you find all SFML related files (.lib and .dll) on your whole PC and remove all of them. then recompile SFML 2 and try again.

vicer1234 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 15, 2011, 01:32:21 pm »

Yeah removed all the files and created a new project and tested with the fresh compiled library files from SFML 2 and IT WORKED

DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY :roll:

But thanks alot for quick replies

You should find out which (incorrect) libraries you were using before, and why. Otherwise you might soon run into the same problem again.
