Help With SFML
« on: January 09, 2014, 08:59:07 pm »
Hey everyone! I need some help with SFML. I am starting SFML, but can't run a program :(. I followed the official tutorials on the SFML website, but it doesn't work. I first ran the program dynamically, but VS said that MSVCP110D.dll was missing from the computer. It was right! I couldn't find it anywhere! After that I tried linking statically, but I can't get that to work either. So here is my question: What is, and where can I find MSVCP110D.dll.
Here are some facts that might be useful:
I am using VS 2013 Express
I am using Windows 8.1
I downloaded SFML from the official website
Thanks and please answer,
Coder Calvin

There is no precompiled libs for MS VS 2013, you must recompile SFML yourself.

MSVC 11 is Visual Studio 2012, which is obviously the wrong version.

You have to get the code from the SFML 2.1 SDK or GitHub and build it with CMake for Visual Studio 2013.

download the SFML's source code, compile it and link your application with
because it is for VS2011 (MSVC11) and VS2011 is incompatible with VS2013(MSVC13) or VS 16.0

You need the source code, not the precompiled packages. I recommend to use the latest Git revision on GitHub (you can also download a Zip archive).

Would it work if I only changed my IDE? Use MS VS 2012 instead?

As long as you used the correct libs, yes that would work.

I don't recommend downgrading to Visual Studio 2012, you lose a lot of precious C++11 features.

Installing SFML from source is really not that difficult. A user even built an installer to ease the process.

Agreed on both accounts. And building from source, specially on Windows, takes 5-10 minutes if you read the documentation.
