Title: Error: Can't find the specified file?
Post by: tom64 on April 11, 2013, 03:08:29 am

I opened SFML build in Visual Studio and try to run the Pong demo.

I get error: \vc2008\sfml-audio\Debug static\sfml-audio.lib'.
The system cannot find the file specified.

Am I supposed to do something like tell it where the files are?

Sorry I'm also new to VS..

Did you build SFML first?

No, but I just built it now and I still get the same error.

Says 2 failed.

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'QWidget': No such file or directory
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/wx.h': No such file or directory

But when I run it still complains about the audio lib.

This is expected, ignore them.

Is it a compiler, linker or runtime error?

I don't know. I'm not skilled vocabularily speaking.

I just click 'Run without debugger' and instantly I get a Windows message popup.

Well, then take a screenshot of the error message and post it here ;)

I can't imagine what you've put in your project settings to have a runtime error complaining about a .lib file :o

Can you upload your project file?

I didn't put anything in project settings. I haven't used VS much either, it's practically a fresh install.

All I did was download SFML, open it, and try to run the pong..

Ah, sorry, I forgot you were working with the SFML solution.

Maybe you should learn Visual Studio with your own projects, instead of SFML. You've probably done something wrong, but I don't know what.

All I remember was that VS said something about SFML being outdated and had to be updated in some way, so I pressed 'OK'. Maybe that's what it was.. I'm on VS 2012 Ultimate.

People already got errors after converting the SFML solution to newer version of VS. But not this kind of runtime error.

But forget SFML 1.6, use 2.0.
