[SOLVED] Window Crashing
« on: December 05, 2009, 04:00:06 pm »
Hello, I am trying to run the code on the tutorials about events using a window. I have the linker set up, but it still doesn't work. The most annoying thing is that I can get the System to work, but not Window.

Can you express yourself a little bit more precisely? What doesn't work?

A short example with related error messages wouldn't be bad.

The program compiles, but when I go to run it, it says "Learning SFML has encountered a problem and needs to close." Here's the code:

Code: [Select]
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Headers
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
// Create the main window
sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML Events");

// Start main loop
while (App.IsOpened())
{
// Process events
sf::Event Event;
while (App.GetEvent(Event))
{
// Close window : exit
if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
App.Close();

                // Escape key : exit
if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape))
App.Close();
}
// Display window on screen
App.Display();
}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I know that the error happens when I create a window.

Do you link to the debug libraries in debug mode?

You should use the debugger to have more informations about the crash.

This is all I can get: Unhandled exception at 0x7c809e32 in SFML Programming.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x65764520.

I created a new project, but it's the exact same as before.

Are you sure you're linking to sfml*-d.lib in your debug configuration? Maybe upload a minimal example together with project files.

You should really learn to use the debugger.

What IDE do you use? Visual Studio? Code::Blocks?

So you just have to run your application using F5 to enable the debugger ;)

I added #define SFML_DYNAMIC, but it still doesn't work. Is that the correct way to do it?

Great. Now it says something about a buffer overrun.

I had something like that...

Except my problem was that I had both the normal .lib and the -d.lib linked. Make sure that isn't the problem either.

Hope you fix the problem.
