Title: LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-window.lib'
Post by: GroundZero on June 21, 2012, 09:36:41 pm

Dear readers,

I reinstalled my computer and reinstalled Qt and SFML.
I keep getting the error as described in the title when saving and running the program.

My .pro file at this moment:

QT          += core gui

TARGET      = Crystallibrium
TEMPLATE    = app


SOURCES     += main.cpp

HEADERS     +=

FORMS       +=

LIBS        += -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\lib" -lsfml-window -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-system
INCLUDEPATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\include"

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");

    // Start the game loop
    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        // Clear screen
        window.clear();

        // Update the window
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}
 

The error(s) I am receiving:

I am using the newest Qt SDK, running on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

Hope someone can help me out :)

As far as I can tell you're trying to compile with the MSVC (*.lib) compiler but you want to use the GCC libraries (*.a). This obviously doesn't work.

You either need to adjust the Qt Creator or take the other SFML libs. ;)

Can you please tell me how I change it in Qt?

Cause if I click on "Projects" and change "Qt version" from "MSVC2010" to "Qt 4.8.1 for Desktop - MinGW" I get the error:

The program has unexpectedly finished.

I am so confused now lol...



What I exactly did:

1. I downloaden the SFML 2.0 Snapshot.
2. Unpacked it on my desktop.
3. Opened a MS-DOS Box and added my Cmake path (inside Qt folder) to the DOS Box.
4. Let Cmake unpack everything into a new folder
5. Browse to that "new" folder (build folder) through the DOS Box.
6. Give the command: mingw32-make.exe (went through without problems)
7. Give the command: mingw32-make.exe install (went through without problems)
8. Added (what is below) code to my .pro file

Quote

LIBS += -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\lib"
INCLUDEPATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\SFML\include" -lsfml-window -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-system

Then I added this test code to my .cpp file:

Quote

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");
 
    // Start the game loop
    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
 
        // Clear screen
        window.clear();
 
        // Update the window
        window.display();
    }
 
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

When I click on (left side of screen) Project button in Qt (Qt SDK newest version) I have:

Edit build configuration: Qt 4.8.1 for Desktop - MSVC2010 (Qt SDK) Debug
Qt version: Qt 4.8.1 for Desktop - MSVC2010 (Qt SDK)
Tool chain: Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 (x86)

I now get the error:

:-1: error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-window.lib'

When I change the Qt version to (for example) MinGW, it says something about backslashes when I try to save and run the program.

Hope you (or anyone) can help me out :)

Never had this problem in the past ;  ;

I've actually no idea about Qt Creator...
I guess it should like you've described it and that it crashes isn't nice at all.

Does that now mean that you still anyways can switch to MinGW, I though it just crashes.  :o
Anyway, then try to change all the backslashes \ into forward slashes / (e.g. C:\Program... -> C:/Program...)

Oke, again one day later... still not working grr.... what I tried and have so far (someone please help me LOL)

my Tool chain says "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 (x86). I tried changing it to Mingw but that is impossible, it will only accept the MSVC Compiler.

I made a new project and now the settings are this by default:

Now it does not tell me it cannot find the SFML items, but it gives me the following error:
