SFML template has >20 errors on Xcode

[mishajw126]

I've recently downloaded and installed SFML into my copy of Xcode, and when I open a new template, 20 errors show up, saying that certain SFML objects have no member named whatever.

(I installed using the frameworks, but tried with the dylibs too)

Thanks for any help!

You probably haven't installed it correctly (or haven't properly uninstall a previous version). Follow carefully the official tutorial.

I've followed the tutorial religiously, as well as this one: http://www.mjbshaw.com/2013/02/building-sfml-2-with-c11-on-os-x.html

When only this is in main.cpp:

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

   
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}



These errors show up:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/usr/local/lib'
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
  "sf::RenderWindow::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode, std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > const&, unsigned long, sf::WindowSettings const&)", referenced from:
      _main in main.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

It seems that you still have SFML 1.6 installed, and this is what XCode uses with your 2.0 template.

[mishajw126]

I had never installed 1.6 in the first place.

I downloaded SFML-2.0 from the bottom of this page: http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.0/

If you're using c++11/clang/libc++, you need to download the other version of the binaries, cf. the /official/ tutorial.

edit: see Laurent's answer below.

You do have SFML 1.6 headers installed.

Look:

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
  "sf::RenderWindow::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode, std::basic_string<...> const&, unsigned long, sf::WindowSettings const&)"

sf::WindowSettings is an old 1.6 structure, it is named sf::ContextSettings in SFML 2.
And the std::basic_string argument is a sf::String in SFML 2.

Good catch!

That was it, thanks a lot!

For anyone else with the same issue, just follow the aforementioned tutorial, but where it says -DSFML_BUILD_FRAMEWORKS='ON' \ replace it with = 'OFF'
