Author Topic: Non static .lib files not generated in VC++2010 (Read 3297 times)

Hello all: basically, I'm trying to compile SFML 1.6 with VC++ 2010, and everything works fine, but it's doesn't appear to be generating .lib files without the -s suffix, other than for sfml-main.

I expect this is a stupid newbie error, but could really do with some help!

The generated files depend on what configuration you choose. To get the static libs you have to select the Debug/Release static configuration.

I have used every configuration.

I can make it generate the dlls (sfml-graphics-d.dll for example), or the static libraries (sfml-graphics-d-s.lib), but not the lib for the dll (sfml-graphics-d.lib)

Thanks for SFML, and all the support!

Ah. Then it's probably a problem with the automatic conversion. I can't help you more, you should check in the project settings where the import libraries are supposed to be created, or check your compilation log.

Ugh: I've managed to get the lib files (the solution was to change the output directory, as has already been suggested) but when I build my app against them I get a memory access violation creating my render window.

Sorry about this, and thanks for all the help Laurent!

Make sure that you link to the debug libraries (-d) in debug mode.

I am: this bug also occurs (using exactly the same settings - linked to the -d files) when using release mode.

[strike]And also when linking against the static libs.[/strike] It does work with the static libs: somewhat unsurprisingly it is helpful to remove the SFML_DYNAMIC macro...
