Hello
I am trying to create a program that will run directly off of a .exe file like most every program out there. However, whenever I double-click the .exe file it says: "The program can't start because sfml-graphics.dll is missing your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."
I checked in my .cpp file's directory and I have all of the required dlls in there.
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <fstream>
using std::string;
using std::ios;
using std::ofstream;
using std::ifstream;
/*void PrintFile(void* UserData)
{
ifstream inFile; // Declare inFile
ofstream outFile; // Declare outFile
if (!inFile.is_open()) //Check to see if file is open
{
inFile.open("mapCoords.txt", ios::in); //If not, open file for output
inFile.close(); //Close File
}
else { //If the file was opened...
inFile.close(); //Close it
}
}*/
int main()

//sf::Thread PrintFile(&PrintFile);

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ;)

===================================
EDIT:
----------------------------------
I'm using Code::Blocks IDE
-
The DLLs need to be in the same folder as the EXE. Or, you can put the DLLs in the system folder (I forget which since I use linux now).
-
Okay. I stuck all of the SFML dlls in with the .exe. It is no longer asking for SFML dlls... Now it's asking for one I'm unfamiliar with: libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.
Is this in the MinGW? SFML folder?
If I want to send my program to a friend does he need to install SFML and MinGW??
-
This problem was already discussed:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2812&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=libgccsdw21
-
Thanks!
It is no longer asking for dlls but when I double click on the .exe file, nothing happens....
-
Is it a console application, what i want to know exactly from this is that when u execute programe from the IDE any console is shown ?
If u don't allow the console then it could be a fileloading path error of files " 'icon.bmp' , 'cursor.cur' .... " which is not shown on the console ^^ .
-
I had it as a GUI Application, but then I changed it to Console Application and the console still won't show up. :/
-
Did u rebuild the project ?
-
Yes I did, still doesn't work.
-
OKAY! I managed to get the console to pop up and it says it fails to load my image: Pheonix.bmp. It's in the folder with my .cpp file. So I'm thoroughly confused.
-
Is the image also in the folder of the exe?
-
Okay I got it to run. But there is a lot of files sitting around in their with the .exe is there a way I tell the program where to look for the files so I can organize the folder?
-
Folders were created for such a goal :wink:
For example :
- Create an Image Folder and place it with the .exe nammed "Images" for images so u can load it as the following "PlayerImage.LoadFromFile("Images/Player.png") ".
- Create a folder to put fonts on...
Is this what u need ?
-
Exactly! Thanks!
My folder is prearranged as:
Project Folder > bin > Debug > .exe
Project Folder > obj > Debug > main.o
Source code being in the Project Folder.
Is there a way to get everything in the Project Folder including the .exe and the main.o file?
-
You have to do this manually.
But you have to know that u don't need the 'main.o' to run the application :wink:.
All you need is the ressource files (images, fonts, cursor ...) in addition to the librarys (.Dll files ) if you are using dynamic libraries of sfml.
-
So, would I do this?
blahblahblah code code code.LoadFromFile(Project Folder/Images/pic.bmp);
-
You can use directly this "xxxx.LoadFromFile(Images/pic.bmp)" which is more clean.
this mean that are looking for a file that is placed on a folder nammed 'Images' who is placed in the same place with the .exe
This would work if you run the program without the IDE (from the explorer ...)
:arrow: All you have to do to get it working when you run the program from the IDE is :
1 - activate your projet from the prject manager layout.
2 - Go to project > Properties >Build Targets.
3 - Set Execution working dir : to 'bin\debug\'
-
Okay, but what if I took out the bin/debug folders and changed it to:
Project > Images
Project > Fonts
Project > Source > Main
> Headers
Project > dlls
Project > .exe
Also, what is the main.o for?
-
Then u have to configure the IDE parameters and help him found source files ... This would be a little bit hard
Also u have to know that the source files ( .cpp, .h and .hpp) are not indispensable to the .exe...
All the .exe needs are the dlls and the ressource files ...
And for the main.o it's a result of the main.cpp file you'll have a xxx.o file for every .cpp file after a compilation, they are called object files ( i think )... that's all i know about it :P
