Title: Visual Studio 2013 C++ Error (Total Beginner)
Post by: Gabum on April 08, 2015, 11:23:22 pm

Hello Programmers!
I'm an all-new fresh developer (Well, I know C++ and some other languages quite well, but I never actually came to program graphical.), and I would like to use SFML to program a small game.
But I got a Problem: I followed the tutorial step by step, but when I try to run the program, this error occurs:

(click to show/hide)

'Erste-Schritte.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'D:\Programmieren\C++\AnfaengeUndTests\Grafik\Erste-Schritte\x64\Debug\Erste-Schritte.exe'. Module was built without symbols.
'Erste-Schritte.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll'. Symbols loaded.
'Erste-Schritte.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll'. Symbols loaded.
'Erste-Schritte.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll'. Symbols loaded.
First-chance exception at 0x00007FFDFE3EC500 (ntdll.dll) in Erste-Schritte.exe: 0xC0000135: Unable to Locate DLL.
First-chance exception at 0x00007FFDFE3EC500 (ntdll.dll) in Erste-Schritte.exe: 0xC0000135: Unable to Locate DLL.
The program '[6740] Erste-Schritte.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I really have no clue what o do with this error message. I already searched for ntdll.dll in 'C:\Windows\System32, and I found it there, so why doesn't Visual Studio find it there?

What should I say, too, is that I only typed sfml-system.lib, sfml-graphics.lib, and sfml-window.lib into the Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, because the stuff with the static libraries looked kind of not required to me. Is that a problem? If yes, it does not seem to cause the error!

Also, another error appears:
A black window is opened when I click the green-arrow button, but instantly an error message appears whoch says that sfml-system-2.dll could not be found. But never anything was said about this file!

Please help me!

Don't claim stuff you obviously don't know, none of the stuff you are asking for help here is specific to SFML, but to general C++ programming.

Nothing was said? Please read the tutorials more carefully.

Now compile the project, and if you linked to the dynamic version of SFML, don't forget to copy the SFML DLLs (they are in <sfml-install-path/bin>) to the directory where your compiled executable is.

OMG! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! :) :) :)
It finally works! I really forgot to copy the .dll-files from the .bin directory into the .exe directory! What an awfullly stupid mistake! Okay, thank you so much! It works now :) :) :)
