Can't install SFML

[Greek]

I have Windows Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

I used this application to install it:

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/1.5/start-vc.php

and this is my test application:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    sf::Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        sf::Sleep(0.5f);
    }

    return 0;
}

If made all right but when i start i get this:

1>------ Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: test3, Konfiguration: Debug Win32 ------

Thanks, Greek

You didn't link to sfml-system.lib, as explained in the tutorial.

[Greek]

i did it:

Sry wrong Error:

This application can't be run, because sfml-system.dll was not found.

[Laurent]

I can't say more than the application: sfml-system.dll was not found. It should be either in a directory which is in the PATH, or in the same directory as the executable.

[Greek]

mhh, ; did missed ...

but now i get the next error:

The application "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\...\Desktop\Programmieren\C++\SFML\SFML Test\Debug\SFML Test.exe" can't be started.

The System can not find the file.

[Greek]

i push compile but he doesn't creates a exe

why? normal programs work.

Hey guys, I'm just posting in this topic, because I also have problems installing SFML on my windows machine (it works perfectly on mac).

I copied the files correctly and also wrote a simple program, which uses the graphics-package of SFML. I linked it correctly and the program compiles without errors.

When I run the compiled .exe it's displaying a error, saying the sfml-graphics.dll could not be found. When copying the .dll to the Visual Studio Project-Folder (debug) it crashes.

Any suggestions?

Update: It works now. I had to link the library with the '-d' prefix.

Same here works now,

This paragraph is labeled as "important" in the "getting started" tutorial, between the paragraph about linking the SFML libraries and the corresponding screenshot.

What could I do to make it more obvious? :cry:

What could I do to make it more obvious? :cry:

Nothing. They are good enough.

Or maybe... A big bling bling flashing message "READ THE TUTORIALS FIRST".  :roll:

What could I do to make it more obvious? :cry:

As Hiura said: Nothing. I should be more careful. And perhaps it's just because I don't have to link by myself usually.

I second the bling bling option.
