General / Just the Basics

Thanks all for your replies but now I`m both confused and worried

If Mingw isn`t compatible with SFML will I find myself with more insoluble compile errors that I`ll never be able to resolve??

Either way I`m going to give it another go.

Tata for now, Stoo :-)

General / Codeblocks first steps

« on: September 01, 2011, 08:23:51 pm »

Have installed codeblocks in c:\ and sfml-1.6 in the codeblocks folder.

When trying to create a new project the wizard appears and I select SFMLProject and give it a project name of, for example, "Test"

Next it asks me to select SFML`s location which as stated is in C:\codeblocks\SFML-1.6\

Now it tells me that the path seems valid but that it can`t locate audio.hpp . If I add \include to the path it locates it but then it can`t find the Include folder.

The only way I could get past this was to move all the include files up one folder to  ...SFML-1.6\Include

This satisfied the wizard and a new project was created.

Upon opening main.cpp however, every reference to the includes point  to a folder in SFML-1.6\Include\SFML, where to get this far I`ve just moved them all out of.

The only way to get it to run was to duplicate all include files in both \Include & \include\SFML and I know this can`t be right.

And then to cap it all off I still get an error when I build it

Cannot find -lsfml-audio.dll


I humbly beseech somebody to HELP ME PLEASE

General / Just the Basics

I`ve installed codeblocks and SFML to the best of my ability and I still would like to be able to plot a simple pixel or point to a screen/bitmap using x/y co-ordinates, and maybe read an x/y co-ord as well.

I guess this should be really simple but am still having difficulty.

Getting the settings right in CBlocks seems to be a matter of luck and randomness with Linker Settings and Search Directories being set one way when creating code and then failing to work when reloading the saved code or even the next time it`s compiled.

I would love to see a piece of code from start to finish that JUST opens up a window/screen and plots a single point to it, with the necessary settings commented so that I can at least have a definite place to start.

HELP ME SOMEBODY, please???

In hope, Stoo
