I'm using clang 3.4 on Linux and I'm very happy with it and its C++11 support.

Yep. was actually just looking over the 11 support of clang and i'm impressed.

Now i just have to make it work with my IDE
If i cant figure that out ill use the MinGW version eXploiter recomended.
Atleast i know how to set it up

ok...Note to self. "and other noobs"
Dont use the newest version of MinGW.
It craps all over SFML...

Can anyone recomend a good c++1.1 compiler.

oh well.
I'm not good at doing nothing so i'm gonna delete all sfml libraries on my computer.
Remove mingw and grab a new one.
set mingw up from scratch making sure all my environment vars are set properly.
Redownload SFML 2.1 source.
use cmake and my newly acquired mingw to compile SFML and then set up my project from scratch.
hoping this will fix my problem or at least rule out any linker or dependency problems.

On a side note i found another "obvious" flaw in my programming.

void Game::calculateFPS(sf::Time deltaTime)
{
    FPS++;
    if(deltaTime >= FPSTime)
    {
        std::stringstream ss;
        ss << FPS;
        showStr = baseStr + ss.str();
        mText.setString(showStr);
        FPS = 0;
        deltaTime = sf::seconds(0.0f);
    }
}
 

notice how i set deltaTime to 0 if it's over 1
This does not do a thing as the sf::Time a pass to the function isn't changed
So this makes the FPS text update every frame instead of every second and it just prints out FPS: 1.

I'm using cout until i can get the font loading fixed.

oh. and just to be safe i moved all class member initialization to the constructor in Game.cpp and removed all semicolons after closing brackets

W8 now i'm confused.
I'm compiling just fine with the code as is. using Dynamic linked libraries.
Are you sure you are compiling with the newest mingw/gcc compiler with c++ 1.1 enabled?
And according to the link FRex wrote i can initialize my members in the header just fine "c++ 1.1".
If it's good coding practice is a whole other matter.

I'm getting some stuff out of the debugger in C::B and it looks like the error might have something to do with another library that SFML depends upon.

Oh well i'm about to go to bed atm so I will post some debugging info tomorrow.

well the class Game is declared in Game.h witch in turn is included in main.cpp where i initialize the class as the object game and execute the run function of the class

#include "Game.h"

int main()

    Game game;
    game.run();

Vary simple.

I can do a full code paste here. might help.

Graphics / Font loading problem (Crash)

« on: March 19, 2014, 03:10:23 pm »

So. I'm fairly new to SFML and still learning c++.
And i'm curently in the process of making a simple Frame counter "FPS".
But i have run into a problem with Font loading.
When i do an ultra simple code like this.

    // some text stuff
    sf::Font font;
    if (!font.loadFromFile("consola.ttf"))
    {
        // error...
    }
    sf::Text text;
    text.setString("FPS: 0");
    text.setFont(font);
    text.setCharacterSize(12);
    text.setColor(sf::Color::Black);
    text.setStyle(sf::Text::Bold);
 

the program functions just fine.
But when i start to work with classes the program crashes at startup

Game.h

class Game
{
public:
    Game();
    void run();
private:
    ...
private:
    ...
    sf::Font mFont;
    sf::Text mText;
};
 

Game.cpp

Game::Game() : mWindow(sf::VideoMode(640, 480), "SFML Application"), mFont(), mText()
{
    if (!mFont.loadFromFile("consola.ttf"))
    {
       /* Handle loading error */
    };

    mText.setString("FPS: 0");
    mText.setFont(mFont);
    mText.setCharacterSize(12);
    mText.setColor(sf::Color::Black);
    mText.setStyle(sf::Text::Bold);
}
 

Now i think it has something to do with the font as the problem persists in all cases except when i comment out mText.setFont(mFont);
I have tried other fonts including Times New Roman.

I'm currently reading up on debugging in code::blocks but i'm not getting anywhere.
If anyone can give a helping hand i would appreciate it a lot.
