General / error: no matching function for call to 'sf::Event::Event()

« on: September 25, 2024, 01:06:17 pm »

Hello, I was following this tutorial to setup SFML on windows with CMake



I downloaded SFML version 2.6.1 from the github repo, and I'm using minGW64, gcc version 13.1.0 with cmake version 3.30.3

and when I try to build the code from the tutorial:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

I get the error in the title. Complete log:

I know it's probably some dumb stuff, but can someone help? Fyi, if I don't use the event and I just show the window, it works fine, I just can't close it.

The CMakeLists.txt is
