the application was unable to start correctly
« on: September 08, 2012, 06:42:07 pm »
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace sf;
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        float f=0.5;
    Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        Sleep(f);
    }

    return 0;
}

this is the code I am using and i am getting a runtime error
"The application was unable to start correctly (0x0150002),Click Ok to close the application."

I have copied all the dll's properly. As well as included sfml-windows-d.lib, sfml-system-d.lib.
system is "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE"
installed all the redistribute packages required.
Now can some please help me with the problem.
I am using Visual studio 2010 ultimate
and windows 7 64 bit architecture.
And also i am using version 1.6 of sfml

Have you recompiled SFML?

I strongly advise you against the use of SFML 1.6, because it's over 2years old (= updated), has quite a few nasty bugs and lacks a lot of new features that SFML 2 provides. Additionally there are already binaries for SFML 2rc.
If you still want to compile SFML on your own, you can follow the official tutorial on how to build SFML 2 with CMake. ;)

If you want to link statically, you have to use the libraries with the -s sufix and define SFML_STATIC, if you want to link dynamically, don't define SFML_STATIC and don't use the libraries with the -s sufix.

Or did that problem come from mixing debug and release library? Don't quite remember... ???
But don't mix release and debug modes either! ;)
