namespace errors

[bobbaluba]

I'm trying to run this piece of code:

Code: [Select]

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

#include "stdafx.h"

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

    return 0;
}
I get this error:
1>e:\development\sfmltest\sfmltest\sfmltest.cpp( : error C2653: 'sf' : is not a class or namespace name

Why is that?

unchecking "use precompiled headers" when creating a project solved the problem?

Yes. If you use precompiled headers with MSVC++, all the code before

Code: [Select]

#include "stdafx.h" is ignored. That's why your identifiers aren't found, the same would apply to std::cout.

A lot of information concerning precompiled headers (or Microsoft Visual C++ in general) can be found on MSDN, by the way.

Thanks Nexus. I have problem like this and your solution helped me.
