Title: How to hide the sfml .dlls from my solution explorer?
Post by: ggggggggggggggg on May 30, 2016, 06:53:00 am
I tried doing it the normal way by adding the .dll are reference but I got this error:
A reference to the "....dll" could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
I also tried NuGet but it also threw all the .dlls in my solution explorer. When I try to put them in a folder they break and the compiler can't find them.
How do I put the .dlls inside a folder or add them them by reference?

I have come across several threads when I first started using SFML about how to keep the dll's in a separate folder myself. Unfortunately this is not possible. The .dll file have to be in the same directory as you exe.

Speaking of the CSFML dlls here, just put them in any folder you please and then use a post build command to copy them to the output (build) folder. No need to put them in your project as individual files.

@zsbzsb - But they will still be required to be in the same folder as the build .exe file, correct? There is not way to have say a "Libs" folder for all the .dll's, then just have all that put in the build folder?
I just want to be sure I am correct on whether that is the case or not :)

Yes, that is why your post build command would copy from the libs folder (or w/e you name it) to the build folder.
