SFML-2.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close !

[Rashid]

Hi everyone...

I have an assignment that I have to program a network game using SFML.

Unfortunately, every (cpp) files can be compiled as well but the files do not work after compile them. even the examples which already complied can not work. That means the problem is not with the compiler !

I already sat the SFML-2.1 folder up in my C drive and sat the bath but the problem may not with the sfml I think it is with my computer.

anyone had any knowledge how to solve this problem please help me.

I attached a screen shot of the problem that I have.

note that: my operation system is Widows XP (32Bit)

TQ

Can you show us the detailed error report?  Did the compiler or linker produce any warnings?

We need more information or all we can do is repeat the standard questions like "Are you mixing debug/release?"

He gets the crash with the pre-compiled examples as well, so it's not a linking issue.

You might want to try recompiling SFML on your own. Although it should work, one can sometimes get problems when compiling on Win7 and then trying to use it on XP.

Thank you for your attention,


I should show you the steps that I did.  I may have a mistake.

I downloaded the SFML from this like:
http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.1/SFML-2.1-windows-gcc-4.7-mingw-32bits.zip

and unzipped to my (C:\) drive,

then I sat the path form (My computer advanced properties)

( there is some compiled examples in SFML-2.1 folder ) but they can not work to !

I tried to re-compile some of them using CMD, they compile but do not work !!

no compiling problems the problem is every (exe) files that have SFML codes do not work

the problem report is that:

=======================================

for this question ( "Are you mixing debug/release?" )

I don't use codeblocks

( I downloaded it but never use it ) I am just using Notepad++ and compile files by normal ways using windows command

so I actually didn't understand your question.



thank u again for your attention

[croux]

same problem here... have someone solved this issue  please?

But when i tried precompiled sound.exe examples from (GCC 4.7 TDM (SJLJ) - 64 bits) with its binaries it is working. Maybe its bcs of 64 bit Win 7.

[eXpl0it3r]

no compiling problems the problem is every (exe) files that have SFML codes do not work

As I told you already, you should try to recompile SFML on your own.

It's usually better to create your own thread.
What compiler are you using? If you're using the default compiler of Code::Blocks, you'll have to grab GCC 4.7 TDM (SJLJ) - 32bits package.

ok thanks...mingw update solved my problem

[Rashid]

well,

I'd like to say thank you for all,

the problem has solved,

Croux said (ok thanks...mingw update solved my problem)

and also my lecturer told me that.

To overcome this problem, do the following:

1. Remove or rename the existing MinGW

2. Download the latest mingw-get-setup.exe installer file from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files

3. Run the installer, make sure you select the default folder (i.e. C:MinGW)

4. Select Basic Setup

5. Tick the mingw32-gcc-g++ package

6. Apply Changes

To check your compiler version after installation, type the below at the command windows:

      g++ --version

If you get version 4.7.2, then you compiler should be ok now.


Just unzip it to C:MinGW, and you should be good to go.


( the is the solution )

Thank you for all
