Title: 'string' file not found.
Post by: MarcuzPwnz on July 30, 2013, 07:53:00 am

Hey there SFML community, it's been a while since I've made a thread here and during this time of absence I've obtained a new computer which I'm having trouble setting up so I can develop in C++ using SFML.

Like usual, I feel ridiculous asking questions because I know they're simple yet I can't figure them out (being a noob at this stuff and all)

So basically my problem is that when I compile the default SFML 2.1 project I get an error "'string' file not found" and I'm not even able to #include <iostream> without getting a similar error. I'm using a Mac running the latest version of Mac OSX and I have the latest Xcode installed yet it seems like I'm not even able to compile basic C++ programs, help? :)

Thanks,

MarcuzPwnz.

Make sure that your file is compiled as C++, not as C (most IDEs deduce the language from the file extension).

Are you able to include C headers, like <stdio.h>?

I would assume I'm compiling as C++ as I'm using a .cpp file and my language settings on the IDE look like this (http://i.imgur.com/AzBqrj9.png)

And I am unable to include <stdio.h> also.

Thank you for the reply. :)

Do you have a custom version of clang installed on your system? (I had this issue yesterday.)

I'm using the default compiler supplied with the installation of Xcode from the app store. :)

so when you run which clang in a terminal you get /usr/bin/clang, right? (just to make sure)

I can't even run clang as a command in terminal, this is obviously a problem.

Is is possible Xcode didn't even install a compiler?

I'm not 100% sure that the issue but you can try installing the CLT. See this SO (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9329243/xcode-4-4-command-line-tools)

I just managed to compile a basic command line application using Xcode so I'm assuming that's not the issue. :P

Just clicked your link, I do remember installing the CLT on my last Macbook, I'll give this a try now, thanks. :)

Edit: Installed and now I'm getting the following Apple Mach-O-Linker errors.

Does anybody have an idea or solution as to what may be causing this issue or how to fix it? :)

For starters, what about try reading what your error is? The very first error in your list is...

Quote

Directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/lib'

That means your linker can not find your lib folder, so that would be something to check that your have the correct path in there to the SFML libraries.

It's in red. But people don't read red, apparently.. http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-osx.php

Managed to fix it, thank you for pointing me in the right direction and I apologise for being troublesome and not reading through everything as I should have first.
