Help Compling 'SFML Game Development' book source code
« on: October 08, 2014, 01:25:00 am »
I follow the complete readme.txt file that comes with the source code from the book

The Error I get when I Compile the Project:
(click to show/hide)
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Do you use the GitHub repository and not the archive on the publisher's website? In case you compile the INSTALL project, make sure that you have access rights to the install path (may require running VS as administrator, or choose a user directory).

If so and the error persists, can you show the whole error message?

I got them from the publisher's website: https://www.packtpub.com/ and yes I compile the INSTALL Project.. but I will try running VS2013 as an administrator.

Well it seemed to work.. but it didn't generate the .exe files where I wanted them..
When I go to:
C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\SFML-Game-Development-Book-master\Build\01_Intro\Source\Debug
and run the .exe application it runs but can't find files it needs to load.. sprites

I'm confused.. because I just want to be able to view the source code in VS to see how the project is built

The skip doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't fail. :)
