C / Re: Entry Point Not Found - Completely flummoxed

« on: October 03, 2016, 01:49:30 am »

Thank you for the reply.  Well, I did find something like that after a short search, but I discounted it because I used MinGW for both.  In fact, I compiled SFML just minutes prior to compiling CSFML.  I am going to take a closer look at how I've set up the directories and references for CSFML, as I think that may be where I've screwed things up.  Ideally, I had hoped someone else ran into the very same situation, but I have obviously set something up wrong.  I will add another reply when I make a breakthrough.

C / Entry Point Not Found - Completely flummoxed

« on: October 02, 2016, 09:07:34 pm »

Here is the extremely simple test code I am attempting to run:

#include <SFML/Graphics.h>


int main()
{
    sfVideoMode mode = {400, 400, 32};
    sfRenderWindow* window;

    window = sfRenderWindow_create(mode, "CSFML Test", sfResize | sfClose, NULL);

    while (sfRenderWindow_isOpen(window))
    {
        sfRenderWindow_display(window);
    }
    return 0;
}

It compiles just fine in Code::Blocks.  When I run, I get the following popup:



Having successfully created several C++ SFML projects, I find myself at a complete loss.  I have no idea why that particular entry point wasn't found.  I suspected it was with opengl32.dll, so I copied it into the bin directory of the executable, but nothing changed.

Any suggestions?

Edit:
I am using the latest version of CSFML, compiled on my machine after running CMake and then using Code::Blocks to build it all.

C / [SOLVED] Compiling CSFML 2.3 in Windows Revisited

« on: October 01, 2016, 06:20:55 pm »

I have a Windows 10 machine and I am trying to build CSFML 2.3.  I have loaded SFML 2.4, and so this is what I am referencing.  I took the FindSFML.cmake file out of the SFML Modules directory and I placed it in the CMake Modules directory.  So far, so good.  CMake finds SFML just fine.

However, I now have a problem locating the dependent DLLs.  Here is the message:

CMake Error at D:/apps/CMake/share/cmake-3.6/Modules/FindSFML.cmake:358 (message):
  SFML found but some of its dependencies are missing ( FreeType libjpeg
  OpenAL Ogg Vorbis VorbisFile VorbisEnc FLAC)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  src/SFML/CMakeLists.txt:26 (find_package)

These libraries are located in my System32 directory.  Now, when I compile SFML via CodeBlocks, I add these dependencies to the linker settings, but I do not need to define their location.  Just the names.

So, in order for CMake to see these dependencies, what should I do?  Copy the DLLs somewhere?  Modify a CMake setting?  Download the SDKs for the missing dependencies?

Note:
I took a look at the FindSFML.cmake script and I noticed that the dependencies are found via a macro which uses the paths in the variable FIND_SFML_PATHS.  My thinking is that I could either copy the DLLs into one of the specified paths or add C:/Windows/System32 in the FIND_SFML_PATHS list.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.


Update:

Copying FindSFML.cmake to the ${CMAKE_ROOT}/share/cmake-3.6/Modules directory is the first step in getting CMake to successfully configure CSFML.

The second thing to do is modify the FindSFML.cmake file so it can find the SFML dependencies.

The version of SFML (source) I have is version 2.4.0.  I do not know about previous distributions, but in this distribution the dependencies are under ${SFML_ROOT}/extlibs.  The cmake file does not look here, so it had to be tweaked.  Here is the relevant snippet from the original code in FindSFML.cmake:

    macro(find_sfml_dependency output friendlyname)
        # No lookup in environment variables (PATH on Windows), as they may contain wrong library versions
        find_library(${output} NAMES ${ARGN} PATHS ${FIND_SFML_PATHS} PATH_SUFFIXES lib NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH)
        if(${${output}} STREQUAL "${output}-NOTFOUND")
            unset(output)
            set(FIND_SFML_DEPENDENCIES_NOTFOUND "${FIND_SFML_DEPENDENCIES_NOTFOUND} ${friendlyname}")
        endif()
    endmacro()

The key part is the definition for PATH_SUFFIXES, which in the original file is assigned the value "lib".  By changing this to "extlibs", CMake finds everything just swell:

    find_library(${output} NAMES ${ARGN} PATHS ${FIND_SFML_PATHS} PATH_SUFFIXES extlibs NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^----------------------------

 

So, the CMake issue has been solved.  Now I will see what happens when I attempt to compile...

Graphics / Re: Centering text on a rectangle not working

« on: June 19, 2014, 03:10:50 pm »

Regarding the odd positioning of the bounding box, sample code would help a lot.  For the space on the right of the letters in the font, that is to be expected.

Fonts(well, most) are built with spacing on either side of the glyphs.  This is how we get little spaces between letters on the screen.  Font designers recommend spacing on the right, but one may build a font with spacing on the left, both left and right, or none at all.

So, if you really want a centered bit of text, you will need to make allowances for the inherent spacing.
