Thanks for the reply eXpl0it3r.

Regarding the first, I was relying on the error messages
Severity   Code   Description   Project   File   Line   Suppression State
Error   C1001   An internal error has occurred in the compiler.   Project1   c:\sfml\sfml-3.0.0-windows-vc16-32-bit\sfml-3.0.0\include\sfml\system\string.hpp   1

1>(compiler file 'd:\agent\_work\1\s\src\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c', line 187)

But it does seem to move on to trying to link:
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1000: Internal error during IMAGE::BuildImage

Regarding the failure to run:
I had dowloaded both the Win32 and x64 versions of Visual C++ 16 (2019) from the SFML download page.  I am using the Community version of VS 2019 if this makes a difference.  I restarted Windows too, just in case.

I tripled-checked that SFML-3.0.0-windows-vc16-32-bit/SFML-3.0.0\include was added to the include paths for the win32 versions and SFML-3.0.0-windows-vc16-32-bit\SFML-3.0.0\lib to the lib paths; while for the x64 versions the include paths point to SFML-3.0.0-windows-vc16-64-bit/SFML-3.0.0\include and the lib paths to SFML-3.0.0-windows-vc16-64-bit\SFML-3.0.0\lib

For the Debug configurations, additional library inputs are sfml-graphics-d.lib;sfml-window-d.lib;sfml-system-d.lib while for the Release ones the libraries are sfml-graphics.lib;sfml-window.lib;sfml-system.lib.

I also copied all win32 dlls to the win32 executable folder and same for x64.

These steps seem pretty standard to me for using an SDK in a project, and they should work in 10 minutes top, yet...  no success whatsoever.  Something in my environment?

General / SFML Hello World project

« on: May 10, 2025, 01:41:36 am »

Sorry guys.  Total newbie to SFML here.

I am trying to test if I can use SFML for a personal project.  Well, I cannot even get a basic project to run.

Using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017    Version 15.9.21 (installed latest updates) for C++ under Windows 10 Pro.

Followed instructions from https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/3.0/getting-started/visual-studio/ 
They seem pretty straightforward:
- downloaded the SFML 3.0.0 for VS 2017 Visual C++ 16 (2019) in both 32 and 64b
- created a new "Empty Project" in VS.
- set the C++ language to ISO C++ 17 Standard
- set the include path
- set the lib path
- added the following lib dependencies: sfml-graphics.lib, sfml-window.lib and sfml-system.lib (and the -d version for Debug configurations).
- copied the dlls to the executable folder.

I used exactly the suggested code (to draw a green circle) in a file named main.cpp added to the project.

First problem: the Release versions, in either Win32 or x64 platform, fail to compile causing a compiler crash.
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: Project1, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1>main.cpp
1>c:\sfml\sfml-3.0.0-windows-vc16-64-bit\sfml-3.0.0\include\sfml\system\exception.hpp(42): warning C4275: non dll-interface class 'std::runtime_error' used as base for dll-interface class 'sf::Exception'

Ignoring this for now and moving on to running the Debug versions.  They compile and link but crash at runtime.

Exception thrown at 0x007818ED in Project1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x7C013190.
static inline const std::size_t InvalidPos{std::u32string::npos};      [file String.hpp l. 102]

Does anyone know where the problem could be, or if there is a ready-made SFML Hello World project file somewhere?
