[SOLVED]SFML text class not working

[Atifhossain]

Here's the code

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main ()
{
     sf::RenderWindow App (sf::VideoMode(447,340), "SFML App");

     sf::Text text("Hello");


    while (App.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event Event;

        while (App.pollEvent(Event))
        {
            if (Event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            App.close();

        App.clear();
        App.draw(text);
        App.display();
        }

     }

}

 

It says :
error : no matching function for call to 'sf::Text::Text(const char [6])'

Hello,

If you use a more recent version of SFML thant the 2.0RC, you have to set a font when you initialize the sf::Text because there is no default font anymore.

Hi,
It makes me notice that the documentation for sf::Text needs an update.
The usage example is outdated. See this line.

Yes, and the explicit isn't necessary anymore

Something I already thought about, is whether using the explicit keyword always (except for copy/move constructors) would be worth a try. It might at least help against changing constructor APIs where adapting explicit always is forgotten...

It's fixed, thanks for your feedback.
