Does it really appear if you start it by clicking on the exe trough windows explorer?

You can use SFML_main .

[Drektar]

Do you compile in debug or release?

To redirect the console output to a file.. You can do something like that:

Code: [Select]

int main()
{


std::ofstream error_file; //File
std::streambuf *cout_buffer = std::cout.rdbuf() ; //Initial buffer of cout
error_file.open("log erreur.txt", std::ofstream::out); //Open file
std::cout.rdbuf( error_file.rdbuf() ); //Change the cout buffer


    //Code here

// Stop using the file
std::cout.rdbuf( cout_buffer );
error_file.close();


    return 0;
}

Doesn't SFML print errors in cerr? You might have to do the same thing but with that object instead.

From a very quick search on Google, it seems like you need to add this option to your linker flags:

-Wl,-subsystem,windows

If it behaves like VC++, your entry point will become WinMain and then you'll have to link to sfml-main to keep main().

Do you know how I can redirect both cout and cerr output to the same file by chance?

Code: [Select]

std::cout.rdbuf(file.rdbuf());
std::cerr.rdbuf(file.rdbuf());

Will this retain *nix compatibility? Or is there a way to check OS in the Makefile and use an if/else to switch between Windows and *nix perhaps?

I don't think you can write a single makefile for both Windows/MinGW and Linux/gcc. You should write one makefile for each (or better: use CMake).

Ah. You know I tried that actually but it didn't work. I was still getting SFML error messages in the console. But it turns out it works just fine, it's just that SFML apparently isn't outputting to std::cerr. If not std::cout, std::cerr, or std::clog (I tried this one too), then where? And how might I redirect wherever that is? :-P

SFML 1 outputs to std::cerr.
SFML 2 outputs to its own stream sf::Err().
