Author Topic: SFML2 and Visual Studio 2010 (Read 9280 times)

I compiled the packages with vs2010 and got linker errors.
I changed the platform toolset from v100 to v90 and it ran without a problem.
If i change the platform toolset again it compiles but it gives me an acess violation exception in WindowImplWin32.cpp line 140:

Code: [Select]

int count = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, MB_PRECOMPOSED, title.c_str(), static_cast<int>(title.size()), wTitle, sizeof(wTitle) / sizeof(*wTitle));

My question is:
Is this a common problem? How do i use sfml2 or 1.6 with visual studio 2010?
Thanks

What linker errors did you get? Did you rebuild completely everything with VC 2010?

Pombal · « **Reply #2 on:** April 24, 2010, 12:08:07 am »

Not everything, i left the samples. Just rebuilt the sfml-* packages.

I was just using Window.hpp so only got a linker error regarding

sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

and App.Display(), IsOpened() and, Close().

If you need the exact message and code i will try to reproduce it.

Thanks.

Are you sure that you don't have other versions that may conflict?

If you compile the samples, do you get the same errors?

Sorry, I didn't explain myself clearly.

I have no problem compiling, just using what i compiled. I compile everything but the samples and got no errors.

When i try to build the first window tutorial i got an error like the one in this post : http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2478
but instead of errors with string, i got errors with the functions of Window.hpp that i use.

It was already clear enough

Stupid question: do you link to sfml-window.lib?

And you should really try to compile the samples, as they are supposed to be configured properly and produce no linker errors.

Pombal · « **Reply #6 on:** April 24, 2010, 01:10:38 pm »

Yes, i did.

I compiled the samples without errors. When i used them they ran flawlessly too. So i copied the code from the sample window to my project and it worked :shock: I deleted the opengl code and libs and the result was what i had previously, the window tutorial. It ran without a problem... AFAIK there was no change.

This was all in debug mode so i tried it with release mode. I got this error:

Quote

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall sf::Window::Window(class sf::VideoMode,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &,unsigned long,struct sf::WindowSettings const &)" (__imp_??0Window@sf@@QAE@VVideoMode@1@ABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@KABUWindowSettings@1@@Z)

I don't think this is equal to the error that brought me here in the first place but i could be wrong.

And now i removed the comments to paste the code, built and it ran without a problem. i didn't change absolutely anything :?

Now it just crashes in release mode, and only if i start without debugging (CTRL + F5). I debug it and it runs perfectly. Only a few times in debug mode i can see it crashes in

Code: [Select]

sf::Window window(sf::VideoMode(640, 480, 32), "SFML Window");

This is getting too strange... These crashes appear almost randomly.
Any ideas?

do they appear to you when u run the exe when not using visual studio to start it?...

Pombal · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2010, 02:26:04 pm »

only if i run the release exe. the debug exe runs as it should.

Laurent · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2010, 02:30:42 pm »

Do you link to the release libraries in release mode (without the "-d" suffix)?

What about the external dependencies?

Laurent · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2010, 05:34:48 pm »

They are supposed to work without being recompiled; at least the VC2005 binaries work with VC2008.

But yeah, you can try.

Incubbus · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2010, 07:27:26 pm »

ok... may You please tell us "exactly" what to check and how to set up visual studio for sfml 1.6, please?... I´d be very thankful, since this may help him and me(the lnk-error thread below this one)...

thanks in advance:)...

Nothing more than what the tutorial says. It's the same for every version of SFML and every version of Visual Studio, except that I don't provide precompiled binaries for VC2010 so you have to recompile SFML yourself.

I have no idea what's happening with you :?
