Installing sfml with code block

[rahul8590]

I have installed the sfml according to the instruction given in the site .
Like i have placed the .h files in include folder and also placed the lib files in lib folder.
in ht linker settings . i have linked linked all the e3 in order .
Though i am compiling the normal program , i am getting an error saying

parse
parse

in line 85 and 97 of file Unicode.hpp

The error is just saying "parse parse"? :lol:

It probably says more, look at the detailed compiler log

What version of gcc are you using? You should probably upgrade your MinGW installation.

[rahul8590]

The mingW version is 3.1.0  ,
Gcc version is 0.99

[Laurent]

Gcc version is 0.99

:shock:
You should really upgrade.

[rahul8590]

Sorry , the one i previously posted isnt my Gcc version . ITs a version for a file compiler.dll
i misunderstood .
The MinGw version is 3.2
I guess thats not that pretty old.

DO i still have to upgrade .. ?

[Laurent]

The MinGw version is 3.2

I'm not familiar with MinGW versions, you should rather check the gcc one (type "mingw32-gcc -v").

Got partial success .

I finally installed the latest ones  and the basic program  is running , thats is the clock one .
But when i am trying to execute another program which uses AUdio.hpp

where i am passsing test.mp3 as the input , i am getting some reference errors .

If you use the audio module you must link to the audio library, which is sfml-audio.

And you won't be able to read a MP3 music, SFML doesn't support this format. You can use OGG instead, it is equivalent but free.

[rahul8590]

well .. regarding audio , as of now i am not much concerned about it . But i have a few queries regarding opengl .
The sample program ran and it was great  But the problem is , i have also developed a small game in it and it has few window key events , will those still be functional if i run it under sfml , since the sfml has its own way of handling it , i was thinking there should not be any problem.

[Laurent]

SFML can handle key events, of course

[rahul8590]

No , i mean i have used the key events of opengl not sfml . Will that not cause any problem .

[Laurent]

OpenGL doesn't handle events. You probably use another library that creates the window and the OpenGL context (such as GLUT or SDL), if you use SFML you must get rid of it. SFML provides its own windows and events.
