Can't get SFML 2.1 to work in Visual Studio 2012

[TheRabbit]

Hi,

Im brand new to SFML, and I can't figure it out. I tried following this tutorial to get everything set up:

http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/95295/#msg511542

I followed it to the letter (except for the Doxygen part), and I'm getting 31 unresolved externals linking errors.

First, I created a brand new blank c++ project. I put examples/window/window.cpp into the project and tried to build:

As I said above, I followed the tutorial exactly, with linking to the correct folders for both Includes and Libraries, and it doesn't work.

I also tried just using the VisualC++11 (32 bit) download straight from the SFML page in case I didn't configure cmake properly, and I'm getting the exact same errors.

Secondly, and slightly less important, the tutorial I linked to above has you create a convenience header:

//sfml.h
#pragma once
#ifndef SFMLFULL_INCLUDED
#define SFMLFULL_INCLUDED
 
#define SFML_STATIC
 
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
 
#if defined(_DEBUG) || defined(DEBUG)
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-graphics-s-d.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-audio-s-d.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-network-s-d.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-window-s-d.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-system-s-d.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-main-d.lib")
#else
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-graphics-s.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-audio-s.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-network-s.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-window-s.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-system-s.lib")
    #pragma comment(lib,"sfml-main.lib")
#endif
 
 
#endif // SFMLFULL_INCLUDED

When I try and include the convenience header, I get errors like this:

1>c:\users\xxx\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\default\default\source.cpp(24): error C3861: 'glClearDepth': identifier not found
1>c:\users\xxx\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\default\default\source.cpp(25): error C3861: 'glClearColor': identifier not found
1>c:\users\xxx\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\default\default\source.cpp(28): error C2065: 'GL_DEPTH_TEST' : undeclared identifier
1>c:\users\xxx\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\default\default\source.cpp(28): error C3861: 'glEnable': identifier not found
1>c:\users\xxx\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\default\default\source.cpp(29): error C2065: 'GL_TRUE' : undeclared identifier
...
 

As if the compiler doesn't include any of the .h files that sfml.h says to include (but I don't get any errors in sfml.h itself.

So to get the link errors that I'm getting above, I have to use the includes exactly as they are written in the example.

Please help, I have no idea where to start, google searching for these terms turns up pages talking about linking to the correct libraries, but I thought that's what I already did when I told the project to use library directories .../lib/release and .../lib/debug?

Thanks!

(I'm using MS VisualStudio 2012 Update 2 V11.0.60315.01 running in Windows 7 Profession 64 bit)

Follow the official tutorial on this site: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/

The thread you link to is obviously out of date because it refers to 2.0 snapshots, but 2.1 has been out for several months.  It's probably from back when everyone used the SFML 2.0 RC and 2.0 hadn't formally been released with an official tutorial yet.

Forgot to mention that I followed the official 2.1 tutorial and had the same results, which is why I looked elsewhere for a tutorial. Here's the 81 errors I get when I follow the http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/start-vc.php tutorial:

Those are obviously linker errors of some kind but they don't look anything like the usual newbie mistakes.

Are you very sure you got the right binaries for your compiler and OS?  Have you quadruple-checked that you are not mixing static/dynamic settings or debug/release builds?  Can you show us all the relevant settings?  Can you show screenshots of the include/lib folders so we can be sure the files really are where they should be?

[TheRabbit]

I can sure try:







Let me know if there's any other pictures that might help.

Also, this is kind of weird, but to take these screen shots I started a brand new project, following all the tutorial steps, and now I'm only getting 17 linker errors instead of the 81 that I was getting above. I'm almost positive that I did every step exactly the same too.

First of all, get rid of the convenience header (if you are still using it). It will become more of an inconvenience later on than it is worth. Set up the project properly once and it will do what you want it to do for a long time. Besides... those pragma directives aren't portable anyway, and I'd keep my finger off something that isn't formally standardized.

After you've done that, you can try following this: http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=12552.0
Post the output here and we can have a look.

Oh and since it isn't clear to me from your previous posts, which version of SFML are you using? How did you get it? And did you build it yourself or did it come pre-built?

Thanks, here's the verbose output:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I'm not using the convenience header, since the project wasn't working at all with it in there. I'm using SFML 2.1 downloaded from here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.1/ a few hours ago, version Visual C++ 11 (2012) - 32 bits.

Try linking to Opengl32 as well.
