Window Problems - Need help!

[Kainevg]

Hello,

I downloaded SFML today and have been looking through what people have done using it..

Now anyway, i'm fairly new to C++ but as I have learnt Action-Script 3.0 (Big improvement from 2.0 as it is now OOP so it can relate more to other languages) I understand the fundamentals and I am learning quickly.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Express for my C++ programming and I have compiled SFML for use with this version of VS. I attempted the very first tutorial where it takes a look at the Clock. This worked for me perfectly fine so I then went on to make a window using the Graphics class.

I created a new Win32 Project called WindowProject and then set it to be "Empty". I went into WindowProject's properties and set the Configuration to be All Configurations.

In Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories I added C:\SFML-1.6\include; in the "Include Directories" field and in the Library Directories field I added "C:\SFML-1.6\lib\vc2010;".

In Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies I put sfml-graphics-s.lib; I also put the file sfml-graphics-s.lib into the location where my .exe would be.

The code I used was exactly the same as the tutorial and when compiling I get these errors:

Im sure it is something very simple im just overlooking or have done wrong.. I hope you guys can help (Im sure you can  )

Thanks in advance - Kaine

In Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies I put sfml-graphics-s.lib

You also need sfml-window and sfml-system (sfml-graphics depend on them).

I also put the file sfml-graphics-s.lib into the location where my .exe would be.

Static libraries are integrated to the final executable, they are not needed at runtime. You only need to do so for DLLs.

Im sure it is something very simple im just overlooking or have done wrong..

Yep. It is even written with bold characters in the VC++ tutorial
In debug mode, you must link to debug libraries ("-d" suffix).

No need to make me feel stupid  

Ill try this out soon when I get a chance though im sure your fix will work..

Thanks heaps

Edit: Its fixed now! Thanks .. I was running it as a windows application but I changed it to console and it works fine now

Edit:

I added the sfml-window-s.lib and sfml-system-s.lib and that got rid of 16 errors but im still getting a compiler error.

And this the code im using for the window:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");

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

            // A key has been pressed
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed)
            {
                // Escape key : exit
                if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape)
                    App.Close();

                // F1 key : capture a screenshot
                if (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::F1)
                {
                    sf::Image Screen = App.Capture();
                    Screen.SaveToFile("screenshot.jpg");
                }
            }
        }

        // Clear the screen with red color
        App.Clear(sf::Color(200, 0, 0));

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

You must define a WinMain entry point (instead of main), or simply link to sfml-main.
