I just started using SFML. I downloaded the SFML v1.6 and using it on my mac with mountain lion and xcode 4.4.1.
I manage to complete the starter tutorial that displays a yellow circle on the screen with a black background.
Everything runs fine except one thing. As soon as I launch the application, the mouse pointer changes to a rainbow wheel and I can no longer close my application using the application close button neither I can quit the application using the main apple menu. It seems like the window has become unresponsive.
I have to go back to my xcode project and stop the application. Anyone has any idea as to why it is happening?
should I try upgrading to SFML v2.0 and see if the problem still persists?
I am using the same code example that comes with the default xcode templates. The reason why I have added the C style linkage is because I am not using interface builder xib file and instead creating NSApplication object in the code itself. The startup code for NSApplication only accepts objective-c and C. I am sure the problem is somewhere else.
Lemme know if I can provide any more relevant information.
