Audio / [SFML] Audio file won't load

« on: January 11, 2013, 09:21:33 pm »

Hello dear SFML programmers,

I am having an issue which I have been trying to resolve the past few days. I am not able to load/play music files.
Example:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>

int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode()), "SFML");
sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
    if (!buffer.loadFromFile("mainMusic.wav"))
        return -1;
sf::Sound sound;
sound.setBuffer(buffer);
sound.play();
while(window.isOpen())
{
sf::Event event;
while(window.pollEvent(event))
{
if(event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}
}
}

The program immediately closes therefore it is obvious that the sound file "mainMusic.wav" does not open.
Yes, the .wav file exists. I have all needed .dll files. I am running the SFML 2.0 version, Windows 7. I have included the .lib files for dynamic linkage.
Could you, please, help me?
Thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours,
Brukmoon

General / Unable to compile a SFML project [Visual Studio C++ Express]

« on: September 15, 2012, 12:14:43 pm »

Greetings.

I am having issues compiling a C++ SFML project using Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition. This is my first time using the SFML library.
I have followed the tutorial on how to set up SFML on VS. (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-vc.php)
I am using SFML 2.0.
The library seem to be added, the compiler does not show any compile errors, only two linking errors.
This is the output that the compiler shows when I compile the project [release]:

Code: [Select]

1>------ Build started: Project: SFtest, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>  main.cpp
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::Color const sf::Color::Green" (?Green@Color@sf@@2V12@B)
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class sf::RenderStates const sf::RenderStates::Default" (?Default@RenderStates@sf@@2V12@B)
1>c:\users\brukmoon\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\SFtest\Release\SFtest.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
