Hi everyone,
I am a total noob to all things C++, SFML and programming, so please be gentle,
Q1) I have followed the getting started tutorial for SFML 2.0 using Visual C++ 2010. I am running it on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It is compiling and running successfully in both debug and release configs. And I have tried both static linking and dynamic linking successfully. However even though the app window is displayed successfully, I get a number of error messages in the console window which pops up when executing debug config (none with release) and I would like to know if I can safely ignore them ? I get three messages stating "An internal OpenGL call failed in Texture.cpp (146) : GL_INVALID_ENUM, an unacceptable value has been specified for an enumerated argument". I get another three messages with the same text but code (147) instead. I get these messages when I link statically and dynamically.
Q2) I am also wondering about various messages that are displayed in the debug pane of visual C++ 2010 after running both configurations. First this is what is displayed after running debug config…

What are all the errors about not being able to load PDB files and how can I prevent them?
Q3) After running release config I get these messages in debug pane....

The program '[3196] SFMLProjectWin8.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Again a load of problems loading PDB files, but also a few about the binary not being built with debug info. I presume that's because I am pressing F5 to debug when its a release config. So is there an option in VC++2010 to run the executable without debugging, and so preventing these messages from coming up?
