no windows pops up

[metulburr]

I am not sure why a SFML windows does not appear when compiled and executed. I am on ubuntu, downloaded sfml from ubuntu repos. I am assuming ubuntu has the oldest version 1.6, but i am not sure on how to tell. I dont get any error messages when compiling, but no window appears.

I am compiling it via:

g++ -Wall -o "%e" "%f" -lsfml-audio -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

under geany's IDE

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");
   
    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                App.Close();
        }

        // Clear the screen (fill it with black color)
        App.Clear();

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Install according to that, before you start working with SFML for real, and have fun.

now after doing that process, i get compile errors:

test.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
test.cpp:10:16: error: ‘class sf::RenderWindow’ has no member named ‘IsOpened’
     while (App.IsOpened())
                ^

         while (App.GetEvent(Event))

                 App.Close();

             ^
test.cpp:25:13: error: ‘class sf::RenderWindow’ has no member named ‘Display’
         App.Display();

I changed it also from IsOpened to IsOpen as the docs say, but i get the same erros

That's because the API changed a lot since 1.6. Get rid of all your code and start again.

You can use the code from here: http://sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-linux.php
For API reference just use the online reference pages: http://sfml-dev.org/resources.php
