That's too cool, thank you!

I'll have to check this out and see how it works, looks like it would facilitate the functionality I need

Graphics / Facilitating Rich Text Formatting

« on: March 02, 2023, 08:21:00 am »

Hello and good day!

This is just a general question, not a specific "tech support question", but it does relate to the SFML/Graphics library. I'm needing to do a specific task and I'm trying to brainstorm the best possible solution. The solutions I'm coming up with in my head sound OK-ish, but maybe you'd have a better one?

I'm curious if there is a way to facilitate rich text formatting with the sf::Font and the sf::Text objects, as-is, or if I'd have to come up with a solution from scratch.

Standard Font / Text Operation

Code: [Select]

//Load the font
sf::Font font;
font.loadFromFile("Impact.ttf");

// Apply text settings
sf::Text text;
text.setFont(font);
text.setString("Hello, world!");
text.setCharacterSize(24);
text.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
text.setStyle(sf::Text::Bold | sf::Text::Italic);
The way I'm understanding this is the sf::Text is actually the object that determines such things as Bold and Italic flags. As far as I see, doing something like...

Hello World!

...is perfectly feasible. But what if I want to do...

Hello World!

Is this type of operation supported without having to use multiple sf::Text (or multiple sf::Font, etc) objects?

The way I'm wanting it to work VS the way the library actually works seems a little different...

How I'd Like It To Work (Example)

Code: [Select]

Iterating Letter-By-Letter Operations...
    Font = Font(...properties...)
    Toggle Bold (On)
    Set Color(0, 96, 0)
    Write "H"
    Toggle Bold (Off)
    Set Color(48, 128, 48)
    Write "ell"
    Set Color(0, 96, 0)
    Write "o"

   //...Blah blah blah...
End Iteration
The raw sf::String itself would probably look like...

Code: [Select]

"\b\c[1]H\c[2]\bell\c[1]o \bW\b\c[2]orld\b\c[1]!\c[0]\b"
That's a dumb example, but I'd need to iterate through each letter and look for codes within the string that would change the format of the rendered text product. It would format based on escape codes such as \b (toggle bold), \i (toggle italic), \c[0] (change font color), etc. As the iterator rolls forward, each letter would be drawn and specified changes of formatting would be applied.

What I'm Needing This For...

The reason I'm needing this is so I can write a Rich Text Message System. As each character is written onto the texture, letter by letter, the properties would always be subject to change during runtime. At any moment, a Bold could be switched on, an occasional Underline may be applied, font name can change, etc.

The only workaround I can think of is using individual font.getGlyph calls and rendering them to an sf::Texture. I'm thinking the sf::Text object would also have to come into play for bolds, italics, etc. Each individual letter would probably have to be rendered on a buffer, and then transferred onto the main "text display" texture.

Hopefully I'm overthinking this and somebody is experienced enough to suggest a better solution than the one I have in my head. Not that I think my purposed solution is bad, but I feel there may be a more direct way to facilitate the behavior I'm looking for.

Thank you ahead of time to anybody who reads this, looking forward to hearing back.

I appreciate your help, sorry I had to leave for a bit and do some adulting lol

This Build information in the two spoilers below is from the the suggestion, done exactly as stated. I've formated to the sfml-<library>-d in Linker and I've removed the \ from the end of the Search Directories (include and lib folder paths.) I tested to see if swapping them for / made a difference but it doesn't seem to.

Behind the scene, I've checked filepaths, made sure the compiler (TDM GCC 5.1) was good, made sure the proper files were in compiler's bin/ folder, etc. It seems to all check out.

So one thing I have discovered is it seems Code::Blocks seems to need the filepaths to be dictated by manually selecting them with the mouse. When the project is built with these settings, it unlocks 20 shiny errors of hope. In other words, I have to do...

• "lib\libsfml-graphics-d.a"
• "lib\libsfml-window-d.a"
• "lib\libsfml-system-d.a"

...and I get...

And that's all I've got for now.

NOTE: These are the next steps, then I'll be updating the topic.

• Uninstall / reunstall Code::Blocks 20.03, just to rule out faulty IDE / components.
• Uninstall / reinstall TDM 5.1.0 compiler, just to rule out if it's faulty or not.
• Replacing the SFML/2.5.1/ files with fresh download, just to rule out it being faulty.
• Triple check filepaths of things to make sure things are where things should be.
• Stage a video from the "correct" state of configuration, then move forward experimenting with the results of different (purposely "wrong") settings and compilers to see if anything works.

EDIT: OK, so it looks like we're good now. I did have to uninstall / reinstall something (IDE and/or Compiler). Thank you for your help, we can stick a fork in it now

I got it from SFML and Code::Blocks (MinGW) tutorial. The compiler is the GCC 5.1.0 TDM (SJLJ) - Code::Blocks - 32-bit. This is the compiler installed at "C:/TDM-GCC-64" (which I've renamed to 32 just now.) For TDM, there is only the 5.1 on my drive, no 10.3 exists anymore.

In my previous thread (link) I was trying to build from source. That's not the case now. That's an unrelated topic (but I may return to it because I would like to learn how to do that (again?))

Ah! You might be on to something, now I'm starting to get a lot more errors. (As odd as that sounds, this might be a good thing...)

Something is incompatible it seems. Hm.

OK, I did just that and now I'm getting the exit code 5 again.

I switched it back so I get the old error (exit 0 success).

I notice it does say...

"Starting the debuggee failed: No executable specified, use `target exec'."

So do I have to do something else? Sorry I'm rusty with the "setup" it's been a while lol. I'll have to get refreshed with the debugger again, I usually just do std::cout tests :3

I've made a video just to demonstrate current behavior. Images of settings are in the spoilers below the video.


(I do apologize, apparently I didn't have the microphone plugged in. Shouldn't matter too much, I'm just showing the current setup.)

SFML location is @ "C:/SFML/2.5.1/", a pretty standard location.

• Currently, the project loads and I get an exit status 0 (success.)
• The window with the green circle (from the SFML tutorial) does not appear.
• My console does not display the std::cout messages I've added for testing purposes.

This is a frustrating issue because I'm fairly confident I've done everything correctly. I've exhausted the tutorial and searches for similar situations via google. I'm laughing that I'm stuck on such a pedestrian issue, I've never spent so long on something so stupid lol

I've uploaded a video of the SFML setup process. This is not related to my last attempt (LINK)

I followed SFML and Code::Blocks (MinGW) tutorial this time. It ended with an exit code 5.



The only reason I made the video is because I wasn't sure what kind of problem I'd run into this time. It's not often that I configure a new SFML installation but each time is different. I know my delete / unzip situation was probably silly, but let me know if I've done anything else stupid or if I've forgot any steps.

EDIT : Added new video, plus the build and debug logs.

SIDE-NOTE: While recording the video I discovered the forum's search function no longer works. Could just be me. Discord has never worked either (global) otherwise I'd be asking for help there. Thanks for understanding.

Current Situation: Everything builds correctly but no application window is launched. I got rid of the ".a" extensions in Debug and Release. I've also noticed my std::cout message doesn't get printed to the console, so hm.

Here is a video of the problem...

PS: Enjoy the music.

EDIT: Another day, another video. The same problem, application window won't display and my std::cout statements aren't printing so something is a disconnect. I'm not sure what exactly. I'm just not cool enough for this...

If this problem isn't resolved by next weekend, I may set up a 24 live stream and a fundraising campaign. There will be troubleshooting, commentary, possibly some live practice sessions for my next musical project and whatever else I can think of. I am a very busy person, so none of this is a promise, but I'm seriously contemplating it.

(I almost did one today but I was having technical / n00b issues. Whatever. We all have to start somewhere.)

I'm NOT requesting a moderator to close the topic, but it is (unofficially) CLOSED.

In other words, don't expend a whole bunch of energy trying to help me in this situation. It would be unnecessary.

However, If you happen to know where those 3 compiler flags are hiding, I'd still like to know, but it no longer applies to my current situation.

Thank you and have a nice day.

EDIT: Moved the ChatGPT log to the post above. It may or may not be relevant, but you can see I've been working on this issue for quite an unreasonable and unacceptable amount of time.

EDIT: I've just uploaded a video for this issue.

(click to show/hide)

SFML Project File: CMake generated a Code::Blocks project file at "C:/SFML/2.6.x/BUILD/SFML.cbp". I open this file to (attempt to) build SFML from source.

Current Situation: When I go to build the project in Code::Blocks, I have 3 rogue compiler flags that are preventing it from building. I'm not sure exactly where these compiler flags are set within the context of the program nor how to remove them.

Current Goal : Build SFML (version 2.6.x) fresh from source with the TDM-GCC compiler version 10.3.0. (or whatever will make this thing work.)

Last Action : I've just configured and generated the SFML makefiles with CMake. Relevant details should be in video.

Current Problem : From what I'm understanding, I need to remove the following compiler flags before I can move forward...

'-Wnull-dereference'
'-Wmisleading-indentation'
'-Wduplicated-cond'

I cannot find these in the CMakeLists.txt, within the context of Code::Blocks nor within the context of CMake. Where would I have to go to get rid of these problematic flags?

Another Point of Confusion: When trying to figure this out in SFML, I seem to have a different "Build Options" than my personal project. There is a context that I'm trying to look for I would normally be able to find but I'm so brain fogged over these issues that I can't find it. I'm guessing, in regards to removing those 3 problematic compiler flags, that I need to find the Code::Blocks context that has a ton of checkboxes for all kinds of silly options.

I go into this context all the time, and I thought it was Project > Build Options or Project > Properties. It's not like I'm unfamiliar with my IDE and stuff, but I'm just mentally scattered right now.

EDIT : I've just uploaded another video for this problem. Basically, I don't see the 3 problematic compiler flags in the context of Code::Blocks, CMake or in CMakeLists.txt.



Come to think of it, did something change in Code::Blocks? The only context I'm unable to find is one which has a ton of checkboxes related to the compiler settings. I bet I need to find the gargantuan compiler checkboxes window and uncheck these three. Usually it's as easy as finding my nose but now it's hiding so I'm wondering... did Code::Blocks remove it in an update?

Whatever. I can't spend more time looking for it tonight. Somebody will come in and, under 120 characters, probably tell me "go here, click that, click that" and I'll be like "Oh, duh! There it is LOL!"

Last Note: I'm no stranger to Discord, but I've never been able to verify or use my account. Even tonight, no dice. Somebody tried to add me: I can't add a friend. I can't even delete the thing. I'll contact the Discord admins another day, this would be my 3rd or 4th time trying in a year's span.

EDIT: This might be slightly irrelevant. I'm past this step so I'm just putting it into a spoiler.

Still, I am trying to generate some usable SFML files so I can re-link them to my project again.

(click to show/hide)

I'll be going slowly through this because I don't want mistakes. I can't afford mistakes. Time is becoming too constrained for excessive "trial and error" cycles and "tutorials in triplicate" sessions. So here goes...

Looks like it's still using the TDM 5.1.0. Make sure you remove TDM 5.1.0 from PATH, and ensure that the TDM 10.3.0 is in PATH, and then restart CMake to reload the PATH environment variable.

OK, so I've gone into Environment Variables PATH and it is set to "C:/TDM-GCC-64/" which should be the TDM-GCC 10.3.0 distribution. Actually, I didn't do anything but check it, it looks good (and thanks.)

Please let me know if I'm blind or unknowingly confused. I think this is correct.

I personally suggest to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the path where you want SFML to be in the end or at least intermediary. Then you can just build the install target in Code::Blocks.

Forgive me for not understanding this context completely. I wish I did, but I don't.

Following the CMake tutorial, I had designated "C:/SFML/2.6.x/BUILD" as the spot where all my binaries should be compiled to. Is this the string I need to write into the CMake GUI's CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX? Right now (by default) it points to "C:/Program Files/SFML/".

I'm guessing once I hit "Generate" it'll give me a bunch of .a and .dll files I need and they'll be built into that "BUILD/" directory. Is this correct?

Somehow I've stumbled into a circular feedback loop with ChatGPT...

So I'm trying to build SFML fresh in Code::Blocks.

||=== Build: all in SFML (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
.\||error: unrecognized command line option '-Wnull-dereference'|
.\||error: unrecognized command line option '-Wmisleading-indentation'|
.\||error: unrecognized command line option '-Wduplicated-cond'|

C:\SFML\2.6.x\BUILD\Makefile|164|recipe for target 'all' failed|
||=== Build failed: 6 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 1 second(s)) ===|

ChatGPT:
It looks like there are some compiler options that are not recognized by your version of GCC. The options in question are "-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-Wduplicated-cond". These options are used to enable additional warning messages for the compiler, but they may not be supported by older versions of GCC.

To fix this issue, you can try disabling these options in your build. To do this, you can modify the CMakeLists.txt file for SFML and remove the corresponding options from the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable.

Alternatively, you can try upgrading your version of GCC to a more recent one that supports these options. You can check the documentation for your version of GCC to see if these options are supported.

Once you have made the necessary changes, you can try building SFML again in Code::Blocks.

Me:
I'm using TDM-GCC-32 10.3.0 version (latest).

ChatGPT:
If you're using TDM-GCC-32 10.3.0, then the compiler options "-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-Wduplicated-cond" should be supported. However, it's possible that they are not enabled by default.

To enable these options, you can add them to the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable in the CMakeLists.txt file for SFML. Open the CMakeLists.txt file and look for the line that sets CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS. It may look something like this:

Code: [Select]

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wall -Wextra")
To enable the additional warning messages, add the following options to the line:

Code: [Select]

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wall -Wextra -Wnull-dereference -Wmisleading-indentation -Wduplicated-cond")
Save the file and try building SFML again in Code::Blocks. This should enable the additional warning messages for the compiler.

Me:
Do I have to do any configuration in Code::Blocks related to CMake? I set the whole build up with CMake, but do I have to go into settings and point to the CMake executable or anything like that?

ChatGPT:
Yes, you will need to configure Code::Blocks to use CMake as the build system for your project. To do this, you will need to set the path to the CMake executable in the Code::Blocks settings.

Here are the steps to configure Code::Blocks for CMake:

• Open Code::Blocks and go to "Settings" from the main menu.
• Select "Global variables" from the left-hand side of the Settings dialog.
• Scroll down to the "CMake" section and click the "..." button next to "CMake executable".
• Browse to the location of the CMake executable on your system and select it.
• Click "OK" to save the settings.

Now, when you build your SFML project in Code::Blocks, it should use CMake as the build system. You can verify this by looking at the build output, which should show the CMake commands being executed.

Me:
I don't see a "CMake" setting in the "Global Variables". There is a "User Defined Fields" section though.

If you don't see a "CMake" section in the "Global Variables" dialog, it's possible that the CMake plugin for Code::Blocks is not installed. You can check if the plugin is installed by going to "Plugins" from the main menu, and looking for "CMake" in the list of installed plugins.

• If the CMake plugin is not installed, you can install it by following these steps:
• Go to "Plugins" from the main menu and select "Manage Plugins".
• Look for "CMake" in the list of available plugins and click the checkbox next to it to select it.
• Click the "Install" button to install the plugin.
• After the installation is complete, restart Code::Blocks.

Once the CMake plugin is installed, you should see a "CMake" section in the "Global Variables" dialog. You can then follow the steps I outlined earlier to set the path to the CMake executable.

Me:
Sorry but I don't see a "CMake" plug-in listed whatsoever. Everything is listed alphabetically, so I would think it should be between "Class wizard" and "Code completion" entries.

ChatGPT:
If you don't see the CMake plugin listed in the "Manage Plugins" dialog, it's possible that the plugin is not available for your version of Code::Blocks. The CMake plugin was introduced in version 17.12, so if you're using an older version of Code::Blocks, the plugin may not be available.

In this case, you will need to use an external build system to build your SFML project with CMake. Here are the steps you can follow:

• Open the CMake GUI and set the source and build directories for your SFML project.
• Click the "Configure" button to generate the build files.
• Select the appropriate generator for your system (e.g. "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles") and click the "Finish" button.
• Once the configuration is complete, click the "Generate" button to generate the Code::Blocks project files.
• Open the generated Code::Blocks project file in Code::Blocks.
• Build the project in Code::Blocks using the "Build" menu.

This should build your SFML project using CMake and Code::Blocks without requiring the CMake plugin.

Me:
OK, I just went to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS and there are no entries. So it seems I have to remove the 3 flags within the Code::Blocks IDE.

ChatGPT:
Yes, if there are no entries in the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable, then it's likely that the flags causing the errors you're seeing are being set in the Code::Blocks project settings.

To remove the problematic flags from the Code::Blocks project settings, you can follow these steps:

• Open your SFML project in Code::Blocks.
• From the main menu, go to "Project" > "Build options".
• In the "Build options" dialog, select the "Compiler settings" tab.
• Look for the three flags that are causing the errors ("-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-
• Wduplicated-cond") and uncheck the checkboxes next to them.
• Click "OK" to save the changes.
• Build your project again and see if the errors are resolved.

By unchecking the checkboxes next to the problematic flags in the Code::Blocks project settings, you're telling the compiler to not use those flags when building your project. This should prevent the errors you're seeing related to those flags.

Me:
I must've lost my marbles because this isn't the "Build options" I'm used to seeing. Strange. What I'm seeing is a list box on the left and a 3 tab section (Pre/post build steps, Custom variables and "Make" commands).

ChatGPT:
It's possible that you're looking at the project settings for a different type of project, such as a "Makefile project" or a "Custom makefile project". These types of projects may have a different set of settings compared to a CMake-based project.

• To access the project settings for a CMake-based project in Code::Blocks, you can follow these steps:
  
• Open your SFML project in Code::Blocks.
• From the main menu, go to "Project" > "Properties".
• In the "Project properties" dialog, select the "Build targets" tab.
• In the "Build targets" tab, you should see a list of build targets, such as "all", "clean", and "install". Select the "all" target.
• Click the "Edit" button to edit the build options for the "all" target.
• In the "Edit target" dialog, select the "Compiler settings" tab.
• Look for the three flags that are causing the errors ("-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-
• Wduplicated-cond") and uncheck the checkboxes next to them.
• Click "OK" to save the changes.
• Build your project again and see if the errors are resolved.

By unchecking the checkboxes next to the problematic flags in the CMake-based project settings, you're telling the compiler to not use those flags when building your project. This should prevent the errors you're seeing related to those flags.

Me:
Ok, for step 5 I'm not seeing an "Edit" button anywhere. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't see it.

ChatGPT:
I apologize for the confusion. It's possible that the version of Code::Blocks you're using has a slightly different interface compared to what I'm used to. Here's an alternative way to access the compiler settings for a CMake-based project in Code::Blocks:

• Open your SFML project in Code::Blocks.
• From the main menu, go to "Plugins" > "CMake".
• In the "CMake" plugin window, you should see your SFML project listed. Right-click on the project and select "Settings" from the context menu.
• In the "CMake settings" dialog, select the "Cache" tab.
• Look for the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable and click on the "Edit" button to edit the value.
• In the "Edit cache entry" dialog, remove the three problematic flags ("-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-Wduplicated-cond") from the value of the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable.
• Click "OK" to save the changes.
• Close the "CMake settings" dialog and rebuild your project.

By removing the problematic flags from the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable in the CMake settings, you're telling the CMake-generated build system to not use those flags when building your project. This should prevent the errors you're seeing related to those flags.

Me:
Ok, now I'm running into the same problem as before. There is no CMake plugin and I don't see a CMake in "Manage plugins" either.

ChatGPT:
I apologize for the confusion again. It seems like the version of Code::Blocks you're using doesn't have the CMake plugin installed or enabled by default.

Here's an alternative way to modify the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable for your SFML project:

• Open your SFML project in Code::Blocks.
• From the main menu, go to "Settings" > "Compiler".
• In the "Compiler settings" dialog, select the "Other options" tab.
• Look for the C++ compiler flags option and remove the three problematic flags ("-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-Wduplicated-cond") from the list.
• Click "OK" to save the changes.
• From the main menu, go to "Settings" > "Debugger".
• In the "Debugger settings" dialog, select the "GDB/CDB debugger" tab.
• Look for the Default for all projects option and uncheck the checkbox next to "Stop on first line".
• Click "OK" to save the changes.
• Build your project again and see if the errors are resolved.

By removing the problematic flags from the C++ compiler flags option in the Compiler settings, you're telling the compiler to not use those flags when building your project. This should prevent the errors you're seeing related to those flags.

By unchecking the "Stop on first line" checkbox in the Debugger settings, you're telling the debugger to not stop at the first line of code when debugging your project. This can help you avoid unnecessary breakpoints when debugging your code.

Me:
I'm in the "Other options" tab (step 3). Now I'm on step 4 and I don't see "C++ compiler flags" anywhere.

ChatGPT:
I apologize for the confusion. The option to modify the C++ compiler flags may be located in a different section, depending on your version of Code::Blocks.

Here's an alternative way to modify the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS variable for your SFML project:

• Open your SFML project in Code::Blocks.
• From the main menu, go to "Project" > "Build options".
• In the "Build options" dialog, select the "Compiler settings" tab.
• Look for the Compiler flags option and click on the "+" button next to it.
• Type in the three problematic flags ("-Wnull-dereference", "-Wmisleading-indentation", and "-Wduplicated-cond") and press "OK" to save the changes.
• Click "OK" again to close the "Build options" dialog.
• Build your project again and see if the errors are resolved.

By adding the problematic flags to the Compiler flags option in the Build options dialog, you're telling the compiler to use those flags when building your project. To prevent the errors you're seeing related to those flags, you'll need to remove them from the list instead.

So in step 5, instead of adding the three flags, you should remove them from the list if they're already present.

(tl;dr : The main thing of relevance in the ChatGPT log is I'm trying to figure out how to remove 3 compiler flags. The CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS entry in CMake (GUI) is blank, so I believe I have to do something within Code::Blocks to clear those flags. I've bantered with ChatGPT how to find these stupid settings in Code::Blocks. It seems the interface Build Options for the "SFML" project is different from what I have in my personal Code::Blocks project.)

OK, thank you for your suggestions and advice.



The 35 second video is just displaying the CMake configuration as-is. None of the variables have been changed. Just unpacked the 2.6.x version of SFML and will be building it with the TDM-GCC 10.3.0 compiler utility.

NOTE : One thing I noticed is it says CMAKE_CODEBLOCKS_EXECUTABLE-NOT_FOUND. Is this a problem or will it be a problem going forward? I'm using CMake (gui) on it's own to "build from source" for the SFML library so I'm assuming it's not a problem. However, I do use Code::Blocks as the IDE for my project. Let me know if I should focus on correcting this or if it's something I don't need to worry about.

NOTE : TDM-GCC-64 is the 10.3.0 version of the compiler, will this work? Do I need to get a 32 bit version of 10.3.0? The 5.1.0 is 32 bit. The package I downloaded looks to be a 32 bit package.

Can you verify that I'm not doing anything stupid? I don't want to hit "Generate" yet.

BTW Thank you for all of your help a year ago. I've managed to start a good foundation for my project using the SFML libraries. Also, I'm slightly ahead on the development roadmap. Very exciting!
