Trying to use SFML with VS Code : exited with code -1073741515 (0xc0000135)

[electo]

Hello,

I was trying to install and use SFML on VS Code, i managed to compile it but when i run it i have these errors:

The thread 8324 has exited with code -1073741515 (0xc0000135).
The thread 4032 has exited with code -1073741515 (0xc0000135).
The program '[11796] a.exe' has exited with code -1073741515 (0xc0000135).

I have installed SFML 2.5.1 (SEH) 64 bit
And for the compiler i have : g++ (x86_64-posix-seh-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 7.3.0
I have installed MinGW from the download page on the SFML site.

I've tried with the 32 bit versions but it does the same error.

I have this basic code:

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

int main()
{
    sf::Window window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }
    }
    return (0);
}

but it crashes instantly.

When i delete all the SFML code everythings works normally.

Can someone help me? I've searched for a while now but i can't get it to work...

EDIT:
I tried to download the source and to compile SFML but still the same error...

Did you copy the SFML DLLs next to the executable? You can also use a debugger, to get more detailed information than an error code.

"Did you copy the SFML DLLs next to the executable?"

I tried it but it didn't change anything (i included the path of the libs and when he compiles he finds them so i don't think the problem comes from here)


"You can also use a debugger, to get more detailed information than an error code."

I just started using VS Code so i'm not sure but i think i'm already using a debugger

The error means, according to a 30s Google search, that it can't find a specific DLL. Navigate to the exe in Explorer and double click the executable, the triggered message box will tell you which DLL can't be found exactly.

Ok, so either i'm very bad at using google because i searched this a lot or either you're a google magician.

Yes you were right i clicked on the .exe and he said that he couldn't find 2 of the .dll
So i just placed them next to the .exe an it works fine.
I already tried this before but with the .a so of course it didn't work.
I feel so dumb right now...

Thank you so much!

Not really a magician, I just Googled the error hex code and clicked on some links: https://www.google.ch/search?q=0xc0000135

(tbf I already kind of knew that it must be this issue, but I just wanted to recheck)

Glad you figured it out
