AppCrash executing SFML Window

[Sakurazaki]

Hi,

I'm using the tutorial code in an empty Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 Project, following step by step the Visual Studio setup.


Compiling goes fine, I included all the sfml-*-d.lib as I compiled in Debug mode and I also included the -d.dll in the folder but when executing the .exe file is just Crashes with the following message:



As you can see (ignore the spanish) the module with errors is sfml-system-2.dll but there is nothing else than the main.cpp file in the project. Am i doing something wrong?

I'm willing to provide more information so let me know and I'll update the post. Thanks!

Did you get SFML from the download page? If so, that's your problem. SFML doesn't have an official release for VS 2015 yet. You'll have to compile SFML yourself (Different compiler versions matter in C++).

Hi, thanks for your response.

I followed up the Compiling SFML with CMake tutorial and when compiling with Debug configuration for Win32 I get the following traceback:

All packages are already installed and there is nothing to restore.
NuGet package restore finished.

flac.lib, freetype.lib and jpeg.lib seem to be throwing errors with printf functions.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, I followed step by step the CMake tutorial and everything went smooth with no errors.

Also, when are you planning to release a VS2015 build of SFML? I'm really willing to use it putting a lot of effort but I'm starting to feel like I won't be able to do it.

The forum search engine or Google are your friends.

As said in multiple other threads before, you need to rebuild said external libraries, because VS 2015 breaks the C ABI.

[Sakurazaki]

I don't have that much knowledge to be rebuilding every single of the dependencies.

Are you planning to release  vs2015 version of SFML?

[eXpl0it3r]

Once VS 2015 is released we will support it.

[Sakurazaki]

ok, then I'll look for an actually working alternative until then. Thanks for your support.

[Hapax]

actually working alternative

SFML does work 

(for the majority of cases)

Check General discussions further above and you should find one or two threads regarding MSVC2015, which I think will also include some precompiled libraries. You're using them on your own risk though.
