SFML Thor BigSprite Abstract class error

[Trampeltier]

Hi,
I  am using thor::BigSprite class (http://www.bromeon.ch/libraries/thor/v1.1/doc/classthor_1_1_big_sprite.html)
When i try to use this class as an object, there come multiple error messages:

My Visual Studio 2010 is German, sorry about that.

So it say that the thor::BigSprite class is an abstract class because of sf::Drawable::draw().
Doesn't thor::BigSprite have its own definition of draw() ?
So what reason could be this error?

[Nexus]

The classes are not abstract, for BigSprite you see the draw() function overridden here.

But judging from texture.GetWidth() and <Thor/Multimedia.hpp> (use forward slashes!), you're using an ancient version of both SFML and Thor. But apparently they're not compatible, since draw() was called Draw() back then.

Is there a reason why you don't use the latest versions from GitHub (see also the notice on the download page)?

[Trampeltier]

So how can I compile the latest thor version with SFML 2.1 without using CMake?
CMake doesn't work for me for some reason...

[eXpl0it3r]

You rather find out how to get CMake to work then, because it's a rather important tool and while it's possible to compile Thor and SFML without CMake, you'd need more knowledge on building things that by the time you'd have caught up, the CMake issue might seem trivial.

[Trampeltier]

So here is the CMake error:
  LINK : fatal error LNK1123: Fehler bei der Konvertierung in COFF: Datei ist ungültig oder beschädigt. [E:\docs\c++\SFML\SFML-master\Build\CMakeFiles\CMakeTmp\cmTryCompileExec3242043022.vcxproj]


Maybe you can help me out.

[eXpl0it3r]

Sounds like you need to install the VS 2010 SP1. I wonder in which parallel universe people are actually googling their error messages.

[Trampeltier]

Actually I was too lazy to google it 

Edit: Downloaded and installed VS2010 SP1, works fine now.

[eXpl0it3r]

Actually I was too lazy to google it 

Don't. It's really unpolite to let others do the simple work for you. Otherwise you should pay me.

[Trampeltier]

Yes, you are right.
I don't know why I didn't google it myself, maybe I didn't see any hope in it doing that.
Whatever, works now and everybody is happy (maybe you are not happy because you worked for me but someday who knows, I will work for you?)
