SFML linking problems

[robvleugel]

I've always used SFML 1.6 and everything worked fine.
Recently I tried to fool around in Linux and build the latest SFML 2.0 from the repository, everything works fine.

But now I'm trying to make the switch from 1.6 to 2.o on Windows and I'm running into some problems using Visual Studio 2011 Express.

I've build the libraries with cmake. I want only the static ones, so I've configured with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to FALSE, STATIC_STD_LIBS to TRUE, and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to both Debug and Release.
I've obtained the sfml-xxx-s.lib and sfml-xxx-s-d.lib.
I've set the correct paths and included the sfml-system-s-d.lib to my project under debug settings.

When I compile the following code:

Code: [Select]


#include <iostream>
#include <SFML\System.hpp>

int main()
{
sf::Clock myClock;
while(myClock.GetElapsedTime().AsSeconds() < 5) {}
    return 0;
}


It gives me the following errors:

Code: [Select]


1>  LINK : C:\Dev\Projects\SFML2 test\Debug\SFML2 test.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: float __thiscall sf::Time::AsSeconds(void)const " (__imp_?AsSeconds@Time@sf@@QBEMXZ) referenced in function _main

1>C:\Dev\Projects\SFML2 test\Debug\SFML2 test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========



Than I've read I had to set the SFML_STATIC, so I did:

Code: [Select]

Ok, it compiles. But I generally don't like to see warnings
So what do they mean? I've read basicly all of the tutorials and youtube videos on how to set up sfml and I can't seem to find this problem.


Now I've compiled a little fancier program:

Code: [Select]


#include <iostream>
#include <SFML\System.hpp>
#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");
   
    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpen())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.PollEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                App.Close();
        }

        // Clear the screen (fill it with black color)
        App.Clear();

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


I've added the sfml-system-s-d.lib,sfml-window-s-d.lib and sfml-graphics-s-d.lib as additional dependencies. I get the following error:

It compiles, it works but still lots of warnings. Is this normal?
Does anyone have a clue how to get rid of them?
I've spend hours already but can't seem to find a solution.


Greetings,
Rob

[Laurent]

So what do they mean?

They mean that debug information for SFML won't be available if you use the debugger, because VC++ couldn't find the corresponding .pdb files.

When I set Code Generation>RunTime Library in VS to Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd) (I have no idea when this does and what effect's it will have on my program)

Because you enabled STATIC_STD_LIBS (which is not recommended unless you know what you do), you must set the same option in your project, which is /MTd.

It compiles, it works but still lots of warnings. Is this normal?

This is still the same warning.

Does anyone have a clue how to get rid of them?

Copy the .pdb files where the debugger will be able to find them. The executable directory should be ok.
Or ignore it: you probably won't need to debug inside SFML.

[robvleugel]

Ah ok that makes some sense, I deleted the .pdb files because I tought they were only needed for the compiling of SFML.

The cmake description of STATIC_STD_LIBS is a little deceiving as it tells you need it for static libraries. So this means you will build SFML2.0 using statics instead of dll's and has nothing to do with the usage of SFML staticly or dynamicly after being build.

Anyway, I rebuild anything with STATIC_STD_LIBS disabled, changed the Code Generation>RunTime Library back to /MDd and now it compiles without errors, just the following warning:

Code: [Select]


1>LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'LIBCMT' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library


Ill try to dig into it, but atleast it compiles now!
Now I can try to fix the "app.exe has triggered a breakpoint" error I get when running the project that I tried to convert from 1.6, programming is so much fun
Thanks again!

Where did you see such a statement?

This is exactly what the tutorial explains

When you hoover your mouse over it. I can't remember what it said exactly but it got me confused

Yeah I've read the tutorial again, guess I've missed that part.
I understand it all now...I guess

Thanks once again for your time!

It says:

TRUE to statically link to the standard libraries, FALSE to use them as DLLs

You probably missed the "standard" word
