VS2012 Linker(DLL) Error
« on: January 24, 2013, 10:52:31 pm »
Hello,

I am having trouble when trying to run the simpe SFML program. I'm using Visual Studio C++ 2012 Express. SFML is 1.6, I've added the correct libraries to the correct directories. When I build its fine and I get no errors, but when I try to run it, I get this. "sfml-system-d.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file."(without quotes) What does this mean? I've put the DLLs in the project folder.

the pdb file is a microsoft debug tool.  It has nothing to do with SFML.

It's usually also just a warning, which can be safely ignored (using the search function would've answered this too).
Besides that you should also read this.

Googling "Cannot find or open the PDB file" gives many answers. Generally, searching a specific error/warning message in Google gives relevant results instantly.

I've figured out my problem. I had the DLLs in the wrong folder. I'm also using 2.0 now.
