Link error .exe
« on: March 19, 2013, 06:08:30 am »
Hello I'm trying to figure out how to use classes with sfml.  I know I can but this is the first i've programmed oo style. I'm fairly new to programming in C++ altogether.  I'm using vs 2012 and I'm getting the error:
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Users\brr\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\sfmlgame\Release\sfmlgame.exe'

Here's my main.cpp:

#include "functions.h"
int main()
{
        functions func;
       
    sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
    shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);
        bool running = true;
    while (running)
    {
 
                func.window.clear();
        func.window.draw(shape);
        func.window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

functions.h:

#pragma once
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include<SFML\Network.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
class functions
{
public:
        functions(void);
        ~functions(void);
        void Events();
        void Window();
        sf::RenderWindow window;
        sf::Event event;
       
};

 

functions.cpp:


#include "functions.h"




functions::functions(void)
{
}


functions::~functions(void)
{
}

void functions::Window(){
        window.setSize(sf::Vector2u(800,600));
        window.setTitle("Test");
       


}

void functions::Events(){
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
       
}

Make sure that your executable is not running when you compile it. Since there's no way to end it in your code, it might be running forever in background.

Maybe you should have a look again at the tutorial for SFML Windows http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/window-window.php


You have to create the window: window.create(...), before you can use it.

Okay got that working. Would I have to have my event function as a thread to have it run along with the window?

No its not necessary.

Normal gameloop: check for Events -> DoLogic -> Clear the window -> Draw some stuff -> Display


while(window.isOpen() && running)
{
    //Check events
    //DoLogic
    //Rendering
}

Doh! I was putting my function call out of while (running)...  It's working now.  I think I can get it from here.  Took forever for me to even comprehend classes!

Everyone has to begin with small steps. Keep on working and stay focused and everything will turn right  ;)
