Title: Why wont my code for making text work?
Post by: sfmlhelperguy on January 16, 2012, 06:22:44 pm
Code: [Select]
#include<SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main()
{
    sf::VideoMode Vmode(640,480,32);
    sf::RenderWindow Window(Vmode,"Hello There");
    sf::Text text("Something");
    while(Window.IsOpened())
    {
        sf::Event Event;
        while(Window.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            if(Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed || Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape)
            {
                Window.Close();
            }
        }
            Window.Clear();
            Window.Draw(text);
            Window.Display();
    }
    return 0;
}
And here are the errors:

Quote

line 6  error: 'Text' is not a member of 'sf'
line 6 error: expected ';' before 'text'
line 18  error: 'text' was not declared in this scope

Are you sure that you have SFML 2.0 headers?

The code in your first message is 2.0. You probably read the wrong documentation or tutorials.

Your code is already designed for SFML2. If you want to know how to make text in SFML 1.6, that is the one you are using, check the 1.6 tutorials on SFML site.

And if you want to know how to realize it in SFML 2, you should first get SFML 2 ;)

Download it on the GitHub page. There's an installation tutorial that shows you how to build the library with CMake.
