Very strange SFML string behaviour in qt creator

[Octav23]

OK here's what I tried: I uninstalled the entire QT sdk and IDE from my computer and re-downloaded SFML in the same location, however now it won't even recognize the SFML setting. It's the same .pro file as before:

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= qt

INCLUDEPATH += F:/SFML-2.0-rc/include
INCLUDEPATH += D:/boost_1_51_0

LIBS += -LF:/SFML-2.0-rc/lib

CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -lsfml-audio -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-network -lsfml-system -lsfml-window
CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -lsfml-audio-d -lsfml-graphics-d -lsfml-network-d -lsfml-system-d -lsfml-window-d

SOURCES += main.cpp

However it's telling me "Cannot open include file  'SFML/System.hpp': No such file or directory and all I did was #include <SFML/System.hpp>

Is my .pro file alright? Why is it so difficult to set up SFML on qt creator?

I have no idea what's wrong, your project file looks good. But since I can't check what's on your hard drive and where it is, I can't say if it should work or not.

It's not more difficult to setup SFML with QtCreator. Include paths, linker paths, input libraries, it's the same stuff everywhere. And yet people continue to have problems because of stupid errors, whatever IDE they use

For some reason restarting my computer magically made SFML work again on the fresh install of qt creator. I'll run a test again and tell you what happens.

Everything works now. A fresh install of qt creator did the trick (God I've been struggling for this for a long time).

Thank you a ton Laurent, your graphical library has helped me immensely in my career as a beginner game developer, it's truly a gem in the many graphical libraries out there and I'll never switch to anything else

Thank you

I'm glad you solved your problem.
