Title: Setup issues
Post by: sirchick on March 04, 2012, 10:10:42 pm

Hey

I followed the tutorial to set up my project but its not working =/

I use Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express.

I used the demonstrated code in the tutorial but i get a few errors which is as follows:

Code: [Select]


main.cpp(1): warning C4627: '#include <SFML/System.hpp>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use
Add directive to 'StdAfx.h' or rebuild precompiled header

main.cpp(2): warning C4627: '#include <iostream>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use
Add directive to 'StdAfx.h' or rebuild precompiled header

main.cpp(13): fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "StdAfx.h"' to your source


I'm assuming i messed up the setup of the project but i can't work out what i got wrong, the tutorial doesn't quite follow the way 2010 works, as they made changes in 2010 so i'm wondering if some one knows what my mistake is..

Have you recompiled SFML?
The available binaries do not work with Visual Studio 2010, so you have to recompile SFML from source.

There are also user-compiled VS 2010 binaries through the forum, so you can search for that.

If you want to use SFML 2, there is a tutorial on the SFML2 tutorials section of the site.

If you want to use SFML 1.6, search the forum for a way of compiling it, or for pre-compiled binaries.

The error should be self-explanatory. You seem to be creating a project that uses the precompiled header stdafx.h but then you're not using it.

Try creating an empty project that doesn't use a precompiled header and it should work, assuming SFML is set up correctly (you will have to recompile it for VS2010).

Try this for compiling 1.6 for VS2010.

Here is my compiled binaries for 1.6

Hopes this saves you some time, but you really should learn how to compile other libraries.
