Graphics / Re: texture.loadFromFile doesn't work

Thanks for the answers!

I managed to figure out what was wrong.

I was running the code with a debug configuration. Switching to release suddenly got it working.

It turns out I had set the release .libs to the debug linker options under Properties | Linker | Additional dependencies. Just by adding -d to the file names did the trick!

Everything works fine now! Thanks again.

Graphics / [SOLVED] texture.loadFromFile doesn't work

« on: February 03, 2015, 12:47:37 am »

So I simply want to load a texture and apply it to a sprite just like it is done in the tutorials.

I am using SFML 2.2, Visual Studio Express 2013.

The problem is that texture.loadFromFile() doesn't work at all for me. I have tried to place my file in a thousand different places and I always get the same result. Finally I decided to use the full path, same problem. I also tried different formats: PNG, GIF, JPG, BMP. I also tried to save them with different software: Photoshop, GIMP, paint. Nothing helps. The only error message displayed is:

Failed to load image "

Exactly like that, only one double quote at the end.

Help!

Here's the minimal code I tried.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
   sf::Texture texture;
   if (!texture.loadFromFile("C:\\temp.png"))
      return 1;

   return 0;
}
