General / SFML source and Visual Studio 2013

« on: September 30, 2013, 02:24:30 pm »

Today I tried to compile SFML for Visual Studio 2013 Express RC.
Using CMake-GUI, I configured to make static libs (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS unchecked), and some of the projects failed to load.

The problem was that some of the .vcxproj files had unnecessary &quot";" next to some of the quotes inside tags.
So to fix it you simply have to remove all the &quot";" from these files.

I'm unfamiliar with the cmake stuff, so is it a bug with CMake-GUI, Visual Studio 2013, or the implementation of SFML's cmake?

Oh and if anyone is interested, here's the VS 2013 RC build I compiled:

Thank you Serapth, your solution is working.

Add SFML_STATIC to your defines.

I tried add "SFML_STATIC" to my defines (preprocessor definitions) but I still get the same errors.

I also notice that all the errors related to the sfml-window-s.lib

It works fine when I use DLLs, but when I try to statically link the libs it give me errors.

Using SFML 1.6 and VC++ 2010 (with recompiled files):

I open empty win32 project.
use the code from the tutorial example.
change from "debug" to "release".
link:
sfml-system-s.lib
sfml-window-s.lib
sfml-main.lib

and I get these errors:

Code: [Select]

*the first SFML program example at the "SFML and Visual Studio" tutorial works for me.

I used to use SFML before and it used to work. What do I do wrong?

Window / KeyPressed won't repeat

« on: December 26, 2010, 05:42:04 pm »

Backspace is a valid unicode character, so it gets added to your string if you don't filter it out. So I guess that's what happened, and you always ended up adding/deleting the backspace char.

This is heavy man... (  :lol: )

I checked if "Enter" (Return(?)) is also unicode char, I found a list on wikipedia and found "Carriage return", is it like the key.code.return?

if so I can use else if for the Text event  

EDIT:
Thank you guys, problem fixed.

Window / KeyPressed won't repeat

Maybe this should be:

Code: [Select]

Field->str.substr(0, Field->str.length() - 2);
?

Let's get first that function working well!

Ok, it's working, but on the first delete after each time new char was entered, as I said, it would delete the first two chars.
How do I fix the first delete? There must be a reason for this, and if we can find it we would be able to find reasonable solution.

EDIT:
Could it be a null character problem?
When I add sf::Text::Unicode to the string, does it include null character in the end of the string?
And does the null character counted by the str.length() ?
Perhaps this is the source of the problem?
Is there a way to make sure the string is NULL terminated?

Why dont you test it further? I think that most of the people should debug deeper and smarter for a time before posting a question..

Check if other keys are repeating, for example. Check if you function is called as it should, etc.

Of course I tested it and debugged it as best as I could, googled for answer but didn't find any.
I can't find a reason why this thing happening, after all it works after I enter a new char to the string.

I wouldn't ask in the forums unless I reach a dead end cause it will probably will be much faster to debug then waiting for an answer that may never come.

EDIT:
I found out that the size of the string won't decrease when I delete(?) the last char.
I guess it means that it always will delete the last char in the string that will be null after it was deleted once..?

EDIT:
if I delete 2chars, at the first time it will once delete 2 chars, then it will delete 1 char.

Window / KeyPressed won't repeat

« on: December 25, 2010, 09:32:42 pm »

I'm making a text input field and I want to delete the last char in a string when the user press BACKSPACE.

For some reason it isn't working right:
When I press BACKSPACE it will only delete one char then it will not delete anything untill I enter a new char to the string.

Im using this function to delete the last char:

Code: [Select]

void CheckKeyPressed(CField* Field, sf::Event::KeyEvent* Key)
{
if(Key->Code == sf::Key::Back)
{
Field->str = Field->str.substr(0, Field->str.length() - 1);
}
}

I know that the EnableKeyRepeat is true by default.

Why it doesn't work right?  :?

General / SFML 1.6 files for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010

« on: December 19, 2010, 07:46:58 pm »

I thought someone might find it useful if I'll upload a build of SFML 1.6 for VC 2010 so you won't have to go through the trouble of converting the source files and building them.

Though I believe if someone will find this post it will be too late  :lol:
If someone gets in trouble or just want a faster way then converting and building the source file, or perhaps downloading and installing VC 2008, then someone may find this useful.

Anyway, here's a download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?07c9qpx53d6f5az

What you will find is a .ZIP file with a folder inside called "vc2010" and contain 2 folders - "include" and "lib", nice and neat.  :wink:
