Help: Including SFML lib into Visual C++ 2013 Professional

[EvilCanadian]

I've went through the 1st tutorial on how to include the SFML libs into VS, however when I try their test program from the 1st tutorial I'm coming across errors.

" error C2678: binary '<' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'sf::Time' (or there is no acceptable conversion) "

or from the tooltip on the hover-over it states that " Error: no operator "<<" matches these operands. operand types are std::ostream << sf::Time"

Also I had to change the

Code: [Select]

while (Clock.GetElapsedTime () < 5.f) to

Code: [Select]

while (Clock.getElapsedTime () < 5.f) lower case g. same case with

Code: [Select]

sf::Sleep (0.5f); to

Code: [Select]

sf::sleep (0.5f);
Below is the copy paste of the compiler messages:

[code] thanks didii.
Help? Thanks in advance.

If you use SFML 2.x you should also read the corresponding tutorials and not the ones from SFML 1.6.

SFML 2.x utilizes camelCase as opposed to CamelCase from SFML 1.6. Also there's an sf::Time class which can't directly be compared to floats or ints.

Also, please use code tags for readability

[code] or [code=cpp]

Thanks for the help, I followed a link to the 1.6 tutorials from a separate website. I should have looked around a bit. I think I've solved the issue, however now I'm experiencing a new one. Two error LNK2001 errors. Here is the copy/paste of the messages. I went though all the steps 3 times so I think I'm doing something incorrectly. I downloaded the x32 download.

Thanks for the additional help.

After reading this thread mine now compiles with no errors or warnings.

I followed a link to the 1.6 tutorials from a separate website.

Why are you using SFML 1.6 and not 2.0/2.1? The official tutorials for all of them are located here.

[EvilCanadian]

I am now using the 2.1 version with only one issue... I was reading a post from cplusplus.com which recommended sfml and provided a link to the 1.6 tutorials, I have now undid everything I did following the 1.6 tutorials and am following the 2.1 tutorials and it is working.

My only issue is when I run in debug mode i'm missing MSVCR110D.dll, however when I run in release mode it works fine. I've went through some Microsoft forums however when I followed their steps it didnt work for me. I've more research to do there to make my program work in debug mode, however for now I'm operating in release mode with sfml with no issues.

If that's missing on your development system, then your compiler installation is kind of broken.
If it's on another machine, just install the vs redistributable.

MSVCR110D.dll

This dll is from VS 2012, so if your program compiled with SFML libs are complaining about it missing obviously you are using libs compiled for VS 2012 and since SFML doesn't provide compiled libs for 2013 you need to either - 1) compile SFML yourself OR 2) download a nightly build.

I ran the repair option for my VS2013 and it fixed my problem.
Thanks guys.
