Game.exe has stopped working

[Nickmiste]

I have installed SFML to Code::Blocks (MinGW), and then I went to test it with the code from the tutorial. I press build and run, and the console comes up. A few seconds later, A window pops up saying game.exe has stopped working. What do I do?

You should give more information on the exacte code and how you setup Code::Blocks.
Further more start the debugger and see what actualy goes on.
Also are you processing the events?

The code I'm testing with is as follows:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(shape);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}
 

I also ran the debugger:

#0 691C4AF9   sf::VideoMode::VideoMode(unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int) () (C:\Users\User\Desktop\Game\Workspace\Game\bin\Debug\sfml-window-2.dll:??)
#1 00401416   main() (C:\Users\User\Desktop\Game\Workspace\Game\main.cpp:5)


When installing SFML, I first tried 1.6, but when that didn't work (same reason as now), I tried SFML 2.0. I followed the instructions on the website saying how to install it very carefully. I tried the debug and release configurations, and the .dll's are in both the debug and release folder with game.exe. That's about all I know.

The code is fine, so ot seems to be your environment. From where did you get SFML and what's the version of C::B and MinGW?

[Nickmiste]

Sorry I took so long to reply. I got SFML from the main website. My Code::Blocks version is 12.11. My MinGW version is 4.7.1 i believe.

You'll have to recompile SFML again, or use my nightly build.
