Linker errors with SFML 2.0
« on: May 26, 2011, 03:04:05 pm »
So after getting SFML 1.6 working, I find out that people on the project I'm working on can't get 1.6 working but can get 2.0 working. So I follow the tutorial that explains how to create the VS project files using CMake. I tried both VS 2010 and VS2005 (changing the settings in CMake accordingly) and both gave me the same behaviour when I tried to link statically to the libraries:

I can see that those errors look like I haven't included the correct libraries, but I've checked it a dozen times and it's all right.

The code I compiled with both IDEs:
Code: [Select]
#include "SFML/Audio.hpp"
#include "SFML/Graphics.hpp"

int main()
{
// Create the main window
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");

     sf::Font font;
     if(!font.LoadFromFile("arial.ttf"))
     {
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }


     sf::Text text("hello sfml", font, 50);

// Start the game loop
while (window.IsOpened())
{
// Process events
sf::Event event;
while (window.PollEvent(event))
{
// Close window : exit
if (event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.Close();
}

// Clear screen
window.Clear();
         window.Draw(text);

// Update the window
window.Display();
}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

It compiles fine, but gives me this error:


Call stack (pointing to the construction of the sf::Text object):


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Wow... that's a complete report :D

But I can tell you what's wrong from the very first line of your post ;)
You need to define SFML_STATIC for static linking.

Yeah well I didn't want to sound like a whinging brat, as I've been posting these kinds of problems a lot lately.

You'll have to excuse my bluntness because I'm a bit tired, but it does not mention SFML_STATIC anywhere. I can see that SFML_DYNAMIC is mentioned, but not SFML_STATIC.

Do you know why I might be getting that error when I link dynamically? It happens in debug and release mode.

And I appreciate, that was a very good bug report actually ;)

You're right, there's no mention of SFML_STATIC because there's no tutorial at all (yet) for SFML 2.0.
But there are many topics on the forum about this problem -- I don't know if they can easily be found though.

Sorry, I missed it (it was kind of lost in your report ;)).
Can you show me the full call stack?

Looks like a configuration problem. Make sure that your VS2010 and VC2005 binaries are not mixed somehow.

I recommend to remove absolutely everything and restart from zero.

Does it happen with static linking too?

Everything. :shock: You don't mean reinstall both versions of Visual Studio do you?

Nope, static linking works a treat.

No :lol:
Only binary/tempoerary files that you generated when compiling SFML. In other words, remove your CMake build directories and anything that you potentially installed.

Ok I did a complete rebuild of SFML 2.0 for both IDEs.

VS2005:
Static debug and release work fine.
Dynamic debug gives me the old error with the same call stack:

Dynamic release works fine.

VS2010:
Static debug and release work fine.
Dynamic debug, again, gives me the old error with the same call stack.
Dynamic release works fine.
