Application crashes when creating window
« on: August 02, 2012, 12:05:33 am »
Hello.

So i've been using SFML for a long time without problems but today something strange happened...

Whenever I try to open a window whether it's a RenderWindow or a Window, whether its statically or dynamically linked the application stops responding when the window is created.

I'm using SFML 1.6 compiled with MinGW version 4.7.0 on Windows 7 64 bit. My GFX card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M.

Anyone knows what could be causing this error?

When your saying SFML 1.6 compiled with gcc 4.7 does that mean, that you've compiled it on your own?
Also if everything was smoothly before, what did you change on the system?
Is the driver uptodate?

Also I advice you to switch to SFML 2. ;)

Okay I see that it was kinda misleading :p
It's the application that is compiled with MinGW 4.7 the library is downloaded precompiled.

I'm just more comfortable with 1.6 at the moment which is why I am still using it hehe.

Yeah that's what I've thought. You nerd to recompile SFML for gcc 4.7 on your own. ;)
