SFML website / Post content deleted before submission, logged off

« on: April 07, 2013, 11:47:02 am »

So, I was writing a reply to a post, and apparently it took me longer than what I had left to be logged on (60 mins, I guess), and when it came time to submit, I hit "Preview" to look at my glorious post, and it took me to the log on screen. So I logged on, and my post was deleted. lol. I'm not going to write it again.

Is there anyway to have it not delete your posts if your logged off? That'd be a pretty useful feature for the forum. I imagine people would feel more inclined to help if they didn't have their replies deleted!

I did make the change of clicking on the "keep me logged in" checkbox, by the by.

Thanks,
Josh

General / [Solved sorta] SFML 2.0"identifier not found" "undeclared identifier"

« on: April 07, 2013, 04:35:25 am »

Hi, I'm new to SFML and OpenGL. I'm learning using the ArcSynthesis website, which uses modern OpenGL 3.3 in their tutorials and uses freeGlut instead of SFML for context.

Anyway, I'm having a problem trying to get SFML to work with the GLsdk. Specifically using the GLsdk's GLload class.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <math.h>
#include <SFML/Window/Joystick.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window/Event.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window/ContextSettings.hpp>

#include <glload\gl_3_3.hpp>
#include <SFML/OpenGL.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

#include <gl/glut.h>
#include "framework.h"
#include <glm/glm.hpp>
#include <glm/gtc/quaternion.hpp>
#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp>
#include <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp>

The problem is when I use #include <glload\gl_3_3.hpp> after #include <SFML/OpenGL.hpp> (or #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>)I get a "Error   1   error C1189: #error :  Attempt to include gle after including gl.h" error.

I googled a bit, and learned that order matters in the include statements, and it's usually safest to do #include <glload\gl_3_3.hpp> first before any other OpenGL includes. So, I switched the order and put it before  #include <SFML/OpenGL.hpp> . After doing that though, now it seems my program doesn't recognize any calls to OpenGL. It gives me ~94 errors all of the form: "error C3861: 'glClear': identifier not found" or "identifier not detected"

What's weird though is if I comment out#include <glload\gl_3_3.hpp>, the program works! And if I put it back in, the program forgets how to use OpenGL and gives me the "identifier not found" errors. I'd like to be able to use <glload\gl_3_3.hpp> and SFML.  I've been trying to figure it out for hours. :\

I'm working on a laptop (i7 processor) running Windows 7. The IDE's Visual Studio 2012. Radeon HD5730 1GB graphics card. Using SFML 2.0. .. Umm.. I'm not sure what other information you might need.  Feel free to ask!

Any help is appreciated.
