Failed to activate the window's context
« on: January 17, 2017, 05:41:54 pm »
I installed SFML on windows and have one error. The screen of window is not drawned, only a white empty window.

I put one attachment (it has a image) to show the error.

My codeblock's version is 16.01 and the SFML's version is GCC 4.9.2 TDM (SJLJ) - 32-bit.

Anybody can help me fix that?

Is your the compiler, with which SFML was built the exactly the same compiler as your? Did you install new drivers?

Good, now I downloaded other version of SFML and it appears a new problem. Now the program is no execute and is showing the message bellow on image attached.

EDIT: I can't install the visual c++, happens one error and the installation abort.

Try to build SFML yourself from source

Well, I cann't fix the error on windows 7, so I installed the Windows 10 and put the gcc/g++ compatible with SFML version. This time I don't use the codeblocks and I try build SFML myself from source through CMD prompt. Works fine!!!

I have a question:

What IDE you use with SFML?

I use visual studio 2015 community, so I won't have to compile SFML myself plus I get not bad user interface and it's free.

The compilation of SFML really has nothing to do with this. You most likely didn't have an up to date GPU driver.
