Running SFML Pre-made examples

[mora260]

I'm new to the SFML, I have worked around with C++ in Linux, now i'm trying to made all work in Mac OS X. I've followed all the steps to install SFML and make it work along with Xcode and I can load the templates and run them correctly. The problems starts when I try to run a pre-made example that comes with the installer of SFML.

It complies correctly, but at the runtime, the command line prompts a messages that says:

"Failed to open sound file "resources/ball.wav" (System error : No such file or directory.)"; but the file is there, so I don't know why it says that.

This is with the pong example. It also happens when I tried to run any other program and it tries to load a sound or a background. I don't know what the problem is.

Please if someone has faced the same issue, some help will be really useful! I'm trying to start with SFML and start making games!

Problem Fixed!! 

I started to compare the codes from the pre-made examples and the templates.
When looking for resources, the templates have their own preloaded methods, I added those methods to the pong project, changed the .cpp to include and use those methods, and compiled and run again. It worked perfectly!

This is a workaround for the issue, but i don't know why it is not working the other way!

The post can't be closed, or leave it here so that somebody can use it or add a different solution!

I ran into the same problem.

I was building the Pong example as sudo, and got the same error as OP. When I built as a regular user, it worked just fine.
