Unresolved Symbols

[TestSubject06]

Building and running the Threads example works fine, but when I move on to the Window example I get some very strange and obscure compiler errors.

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

    // Start main loop
    bool Running = true;
    while (Running)
    {
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
results in:

Code: [Select]

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, with Visual Studio 2010. When I build SFML I seem to be missing some files:

Code: [Select]

sfml-audio.lib
sfml-audio-d.lib
sfml-graphics.lib
sfml-graphics-d.lib
sfml-network.lib
sfml-network-d.lib
sfml-system.lib
sfml-system-d.lib
So I just left the original ones in there (from the VC2008 build) and it seemed to work fine. At least the stuff in system example didn't mind.

Any ideas?

okay wow, nevermind I was missing some lines in the Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies. The setup page only mentioned sfml-system.lib which would explain why the system example worked fine.

Now it compiles, but when I run it it does nothing. No window is created, no errors are thrown, nothing happens.

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout<<"stuff1";
    // Create the main window
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");
std::cout<<"stuff2";

    // Start main loop
    bool Running = true;
    while (Running)
    {
        //App.Display();
std::cout<<"stuff";
    }
    std::cout<<"stuff3";
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
never even outputs "stuff1"

Without the sf::Window App ... it does all of the cout stuff.

Edit: stuff in the System and Audio sections seem to work fine for me, but as soon as I try to even make a reference to the Window class it just hangs.

If it matters I have a Radeon HD 6870 gfx card.

Search for "ATI bug" on this forum. You should find thousands of threads.

Search for "ATI bug" on this forum. You should find thousands of threads.

Which implies: Don't use SFML 1.6, because:

• SFML 2 has already a release candidate!
• SFML 1.6 hasn't been updated for longer time and many known bugs didn't get fixed anymore.
• The ATI bug doesn't let you run SFML 1.6 applications unless you link statically

Yeah, sorry... I switched over to 2.0 when a few of my friends told me about the ATI bug. Everything went smooth from there. Thanks for your help though.
