Thanks for your help.
I'm off to study abstract types and hopefully learn a little bit more about c++. A never ending story:

Graphics / build error with sf::Shape

« on: February 10, 2013, 12:00:19 am »

Hi,
I've just started with SFML 2.0 . I.m trying to draw a polygon using the following code

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>

using namespace std;

/*
 *
 */
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    sf::Shape poly;
    return 0;
}

When I build the code I get this error

c:/SFML/SFML2/include/SFML/Graphics/Shape.hpp:246:5: error: 'sf::Shape::Shape()' is protected
main.cpp:19:15: error: within this context
main.cpp:19:15: error: cannot declare variable 'poly' to be of abstract type 'sf::Shape'

What have I missed?

I'm useing Netbeans and Vista.

Any help gratefully received.
