Weird thing with Visual Studio

[Gio]

I got this error when I was compiling SFML with Visual Studio, as both Debug and release, with the proper linking done and SFML_DYNAMIC added. I am using the Graphics and System Packages, but neither use nor link to the Window Package. here it is:

Code: [Select]

Thanks in advance.

I think it comes, when you try to copy a class, that is defined as not copyable.

Do you pass a Copy of a sf::Window Instance or from a sf::Window derived class as argument somewhere in Levels.cpp?

try using Pointers.

try using Pointers.

References are better

come on, it was not bad for my first helping post

W00-H00! I got it to compile in both configurations! But it won't run. Debug says:

This Application has failed to start because the Application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors. Reinstalling the Application may fix the problem (yea right :roll:).For more details, please see the application event log

That's with Debug on. Off, the thing just crashes.
Here's release:

Unhandled exception at 0x766c1ca4 in Simple Rogue.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000002.
Break              Continue               Ignore

I am forced to break, and here's the odd line of code in some .c file causing problems:

Code: [Select]

 if (__native_startup_state == __initializing)
            {
                _initterm( __xc_a, __xc_z );//this one
                __native_startup_state = __initialized;
            }
I know this is sort of off-topic, but I need it to run my game! If anyone knows anything about this stuff, i would greatly appreciate it... (and probably stop complaining about Visual Studio on this Forum)

In debug, make sure that you link to the SFML debug libraries (-d suffix). Also make sure that you use the libraries corresponding to your version of Visual C++ (if you use VC++ 2010 you must recompile SFML).

If everything is ok then show your code

I did link to the Debug versions for the Debug but did not (re)build the library for VC++2010. I used the Build folder to convert it, but am not sure what to replace or even if I really updated it. I also took note of the fact that every time I run the Debug Config the project rebuilds itself even if I just built it in the same config.

You just have to open the VC 2008 solution, click "ok" (for the conversion wizard), select the configuration that you want to build (Debug/Release static/DLL) and click "rebuild all".

I made a showing how to do this. It works the same for non-express editions as well.

I followed the video, refreshed the linker and moved the new .dll's in but could not fix the problem. I also rebuilt the game.
