Text width, and sound

[joelcnz]

I'm using OSX. And have the less recommended DSFML (what do I call it?). And don't seem to have sound.

How do I get the width of a Text object's text?

You may find that this documentation is of some use to you

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about the master branch and not the rc branch?

Hapax is right about this one. That function should work.

I can't seem to get sound working on my version of DSFML? 

What's an example with the bounding box? I can't figure it out.

The FloatRect that getLocalBounds() returns has a member called width.
i.e. getLocalBounds().width

Perhaps you could provide a bit more information.
Like; what SFML version are you using? Do you get any errors/warnings during compilation/runtime (check the console)? Does sound work for other applications?
Could you provide a complete and minimal example program that shows the problem that people can test (see: http://sscce.org/ )?

Thanks for the replies.

I've gotten the object width et. working, thanks Hapax;

I mean to reply later, Jesper Juhl, thanks.

I'm using SFML 2.0 (going by the dynamic link files).

I got sound working! I added a import (import dsfml.audio) and added a dependency in the dub.json ("dsfml:audio": "~master").

I get this with the programs that work:
Joels-MacBook-Pro:AudioTest joelcnz$ dub

That'll do it.

Those dub  warnings are caused by using "master" directly, but with the next release I'll start  tagging the repository with the version number. That should make it happy.
