Title: Can't run first sample
Post by: onEnterFrame on January 20, 2011, 09:46:53 am

Code: [Select]



#include "SFML/Window.hpp"
#include "SFML/Graphics.hpp"

int main( int argc, char *argv ) {

sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode::GetMode(0), "SFML Shapes");
sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode::GetMode(0), "SFML Shapes", sf::Style::Fullscreen);

while ( true ) {
app.Display();
}

return 0;

} // End main()



program compiles then crashes: The application was unable to start correctly.

i have all the libraries, dlls in correct location, etc. i have tried both dynamic and static library linkages - the static linkage wont even compile.

ive tried both rendering windows and the regular window class.

im hearing a lot about ATI bugs but i have a NVIDIA graphics card, if it matters.


windows 7 64 bit. VC express 2010

Well, you have a while (true), which is always a bad start. It runs fine on my 32-bit windows 7 comp using Code::Blocks.

the while ( true ) is inconsequential and is just a placeholder til i can get the program to start at all.

it dies on window creation, renderwindow, or normal Window.

Are you sure you have the 64-bit .dll files?

i was not aware they used separate dlls. things like OGRE etc always just used the one. i cant find them in my 1.6sdk install but since you say they exist ill search for those.

thank you.

where are the 64bit dlls for windows? do you have to compile them yourself?

Oh, I was thinking of the 64-bit dlls for SFML 2.0.

Actually, I'm not sure if there are different versions for 1.6. I think that the 1.6 SDK somes with 32-bit ones that work on 64-bit machines. I'm not sure.

It works if you compile as 32 bits. But you have to recompile SFML for VC++ 2010, the 2008 precompiled files are not compatible.

yeah thanks. i finally found some old forum posts to the same effect, too.

i did look for answers before but sometimes its hard to sift through so many search results.

anyway i compiled last night and will test after work today. high expectations.
