Title: SideBySide
Post by: slotdev on May 16, 2011, 07:50:03 pm

Hi

My app crashes when I run it on the target system, guess what it's the SideBySide MSVCRT and KERNEL32.

Most people will say, just install the MSVC Redistibutable stuff, problem is I have 7000 machines to deploy this on (no joke), so it's just impossible.

Therefore I must static link to the MS runtime libraries. This isn't normally a problem but for some reason it's not working.

So, are the SFML libraries linked against MSVCRT etc?

Thanks
Ed

SFML libraries are linked to DLL CRT, but you can change it to link statically and recompile them.

If you're using SFML 2, it's as simple as changing a CMake option.

Ah OK, I'll grab the source code and recompile.

I'm using 1.6 - it's a bit off topic but how "finished" is 2.0 ? My issue is that there are no tutorials for it and as a totally new SFML user it's good to have a lot of references. It saves asking silly questions on forums :-)

SFML 2 is almost finished, I've started to update the tutorials.

The tutorials for 1.6 can be used as a base, and with the API documentation (which is up-to-date) I think you can easily learn SFML 2.0.

And I allow silly questions about non-documented SFML 2 stuff :lol:
