General / Visual Studio 12 (2013 preview) static linking

« on: August 28, 2013, 12:46:34 am »

Heya,

I did create the visual studio 12-solutions using CMake (had to use solutions, because my antivir would give me 2 alerts about a trojan when building an nmake-thing)...

When using the shared-libs option in CMake everything works fine (tested with the tutorial code)...

But when i try to use the static libs (sfml-xxx-s-d.lib e.g.) visual studio could not load the following projects, because the the vcxproj-files had invalid entries:

sfml-audio
sfml-graphics
sfml-window
sfml-network

the invalid entries were the "<Lib> <AdditionalOptions>..." -entries...
So i did delete those and added an cpp file to every project which includes the additional dependencies mentioned in the <Lib>-section.

But when i tried building a test-project with static linkage, visual studio reported linking errors to missing external symbols...

After trying some things i got it to work:
I had to add the library files mentioned in the lib-sections manually as additional dependencies.
E.g.:
When using sfml-window-s.lib & sfml-graphics-s.lib i had to do the following:

#pragma comment(lib, "glew.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "freetype.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "jpeg.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "opengl32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "gdi32.lib")

(Of course, this would also work then adding them manually in the project properties)...

Anyone knows why i have to do add those libs manually and why they are not included in the sfml-lib-files, and how to fix this?...

I dont know how to build SFML1.6 with VS...

Shall i just open the solution and build it?

If so - i already tried - I 3 failed builds and dont know where to find the libraries :/...

I didn´t even find a tutorial of how to build SFML with VS in the wiki and the tutorial files...

May You provide a straight link to this tutorial (if it exists) or may explain me waht to do?...

Is this DLL in a directory contained in the PATH evironment variable, or in the same directory as the executable?

It is in an directoy on my desktop and I did make an entry in the VC-Directories property page

On the following screenshot I show the property pages setting, the error(im sorry - its in german, but it says:

The program can not be started, because sfml-system-s-d.dll is missing on the system. Please reinstall the application...

[/code]


EDIT: I even did redownload the sfml-package...


EDIT 2: If i copy the dll into the exe-directory and retry running the application, there does occur an application error, that says:

The Application could not start correctly (0xc0150002). Click "OK" to close the Application.

ok... somehow the compilation and linking succeeds...

but then when the console window does appear there is an system error telling me that the sfml-audio.dll does not exist (and hell it does)...

what the hack?... i did link wiht ANY library and it still does not work...
i only succeeded in compiling the clock-example... hahahah... (yes i have the right directorys included)... i did just copy the examples for creating a window...

anyone may know what i did misconfigure?...
