Can not get SFML 2.0 to work
« on: July 22, 2013, 07:51:31 pm »
I was working with SFML 1.6 for a while but now I changed for 2.0 and I can't get it to work. I followed all the tutorials, did some research. Nothing works. I am on Windows 32bit. I tried CodeBlocks and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. I would really need your help so I could work.
Thank you
Hope to hear from you soon

That's because you didn't pick the right version of SFML. What's your compiler, and which version did you download?

And what's your problem with Visual C++?

With Visual Studio 2012 I get Unable to start program (executable file path)
The system cannot find the file specified

You can read, right? :D

It can't find the file, so you'll have to provide it and since you couldn't provide the actual error message, I'll have to assume that you forgot to move the DLLs to the working directory as written in the tutorials. ;)

For CodeBlocks I am using GCC 4.7 MinGW(DW2) - 32bits
No, I did copy the DLLs in the executable folder. Its the first time using VS. The only reason I bough it is because CodeBlocks was not working and I tough it would be easier. So if I could get CodeBlocks to work it would be even better

This is the wrong one, the tutorial says which is the right one.

OMG thank you the whole time I was just using the wrong version. Forget about VS 2012 this was just stupid Ill stay with CodeBlocks. I can finally finish my work! You don't know how much important this was for me. I almost gave up but you helped me out. Your tutorial is actually excellent. I just did not read the first sentence and ended up downloading the wrong file. Is there anything I could do for you like donate or something like that?

There's a donate button on the front page and it has also a Flattr button. :)
