General / Is there a way to statically link to msvcp100.dll?

« on: July 30, 2010, 10:56:12 pm »

I'm just learning SFML, so I'm writing lot's of learning-how-to-do-stuff-test-programs, and I wanted to show my friend what I had done, but he got the error that msvcp100.dll was missing. I found out later that people who get that error just need to install the VC++ Redistributable Package, but isn't there a way I could statically embed it into my executable so I don't have to provide that 5mb installer for every person who doesn't have it installed already? Not that it's too tedious, just would be easier I guess.

SFML rocks by the way, thanks.

General discussions / Game Maker flooding the market with crap?

« on: July 30, 2010, 10:51:33 pm »

You can't exactly call stuff like this crap. Most of those Gamemaker games are qualitatively better than a big part of indie games written in a real language. And it's not just Drag'nDrop, it has it's own scripting language, children and other people can learn a lot of game logic with that. Sure they if they just wanted they could make equally good games with a real programming language, but it would take 25x the time, why should someone who's just interested in "creating games" bother with that much?

Can't help but I wanted to say I like it   The only issue is that sometimes it's not possible to jump while walking.

Me turd, I managed to compile sfml, I got a few warnings though, I hope it's nothing important. The thread example runs fine now.

If anyone needs to compile it with Visual Studio 2010 go to

I just started to learn SFML and I can't even get through the second example code. The first one, http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.6/start-vc.php, compiled fine. But the second tutorial program, about threads, gives me this error:

 

Code: [Select]

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: int __thiscall std::basic_streambuf<char,struct std::char_traits<char> >::sputn(char const *,int)" (__imp_?sputn@?$basic_streambuf@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@QAEHPBDH@Z) c:\documents and settings\~~~~\my documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\SFML3\SFML3\sfml-system-s.lib(Thread.obj) SFML3


The code is

Code: [Select]


#include <SFML\System.hpp>
#include <iostream>

void ThreadFunction(void* UserData) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        std::cout << "I'm the thread number 1" << std::endl;
}

int main() {
    sf::Thread Thread(&ThreadFunction);

    Thread.Launch();

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        std::cout << "I'm the main thread" << std::endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


I used "Release" option and linked to "sfml-system-s.lib", with Visual Studio 2010. The tutorial said it would work, so first I didn't compile SFML myself, then when I got this error I tried, but I wasn't even able to compile it because of tons of errors.

The thread-example DOES compile fine when using sfml-system.lib when declared with SFML_DYNAMIC. But I'd like a static link. How can I solve this problem? I don't want to download vc2008 just for this.
