Window / Where's my window?
« on: February 24, 2013, 08:18:31 pm »
Apologies if this has been answered before, I did search but I couldn't find the same problem experienced elsewhere..
I've just started using SFML, and I find that my very simple program will compile seemingly without errors, but won't appear to run any code. Take the example below:
Now, I found that without any reference to sf (the last line commented out), the text is printed and the console window exits fine. But with the creation of the App window, nothing is printed, and I can't even catch the main function being hit in the debugger. The console window just sits there. So, I have no idea what's going wrong :/
I'm using VS 2008 Pro, I've added include paths for libs and dll's. It's quite a silly problem and really putting me off! Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Cheers

{
std::cout << "hello sfml";

sf::RenderWindow App( sf::VideoMode( 1024, 768 ), "my window" );
...
}

int main()
{
