Graphics / Re: Text/font causes crash on shutdown

« on: January 08, 2019, 07:05:23 pm »

Good, seems as if I will be able to do that!

Is there a way to let CMake create a new VS project and automatically generate the result of the steps in the "SFML and Visual studio" tutorial https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.5/start-vc.php ?

Thank you for help and suggestions! My environment was not in order, it can be that I used 2.5 header files and 2.4 libs even

I will take a look at CMake. I really like the VC++ debugger but I find its configuration/project/solution handling really cumbersome. I always find myself spending too much time searching among strange menu choices when I work with VC++, even though I should have spent more time there this time 

again, thanks it work now

On a closer inspection I see that I link with 2.4.2 library of unknown origin. I had downloaded  a more recent version from the download site but apparently I had failed to make the correct settings in the IDE 

Hm, it seems as if I have to upgrade Visual Studio if I want to use the latest lib:

Thank you for the swift answer! I must get my environment in order. It was probably a bad lib

Graphics / Text/font causes crash on shutdown

« on: January 06, 2019, 12:12:31 am »

I have started with the tutorials and let my project grow. When I added a text it started to crash at shutdown, it does not affect the gameplay but it is annoying. Now, I have shrunk the code to a minimal example. Can you see what is wrong?

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(700, 400), "hejsan", sf::Style::Default);
        sf::Font font_;
        sf::Text text_;
        // Just any font. (Still crashes at shutdown even if the line is removed.):
        font_.loadFromFile("C:\\Windows\\fonts\\DejaVuSansMono.ttf");
        text_.setFont(font_);
        text_.setString("hejsan");

        // run the program as long as the window is open
        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                // check all the window's events that were triggered since the last iteration of the loop
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        // "close requested" event: we close the window
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }
                window.draw(text_);

                window.display();
        }
        return 0;
}
