[SOLVED] Installation of SFML to Visual Studio Express 2013

[ThomasWilliamson]

Okey, Hello everyone!

I have spent, 6 hours (literally) trying to get SFML2.1 to work on my new installation of Visual Studio Express 2013

I have tried compiling it myself, using other peoples compiles for 2013 Express and a whole host of other things.

My current error i seem to be getting is:


Can someone please help me get this thing installed before i blow a fuse?

Thanks

What you posted shows absolutely nothing that we can use to help you.

This link is your best bet.

I have followed that tutorial and ended up with the same thing happening.

Using this one:

Also gave me the same error.

I am not exactly sure what info you need. Sorry.

The error code simply states, that the application has been prematurely closed/crashed. To figure out what happend, you'll have to use your debugger. Step into the application and go through it step-by-step, so you'll see where exactly it crashes. Don't forget to run your application as debug build.
And keep in mind that the library has to match the compiler version & setting (debug-debug, release-release).

Hmm, i have the debug to debug and such...

Im using the default program:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
        sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
        shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }

                window.clear();
                window.draw(shape);
                window.display();
        }

        return 0;
}

When i tell it to go through debugging, it just does the exact same thing, nothing in the error list.

Im going to try re-setup SFML.

What if you create a new project with just:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
}

If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupted VS install or something else, that's not really related to SFML.

Ended up reinstalling it with another guys compile (already done several other peoples that didn't work)

This one works a treat for it

only thing i needed to do other then follow the instructions was to convert his template project into an actual template


Thanks for the help folks, with some luck you might see somthing il make in the future! (as unlikely as it is)
