Process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)

[na.mkv]

Good day. I have a problem with SFML on Windows 11.

I have the same issue when using SFML for 32 and 64 bit systems.

Here I am attaching the screenshots with the code for cmake and main.cpp.

I really have no idea what is wrong here. It worked fine on Unix, but I have a struggle with win now. I seek help.

Whenever I try to run the program, I get the error message: "Process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)".

I have downloaded the SFML and mingw, and copied them to "C:/" directory

[na.mkv]

Also I have the same issue when I try to compile a file with this code snippet.


void Actions::load_main_menu_music(Music * music) {
    if (!music->openFromFile("../Audio/Music/MainTheme.mp3")) {
        throw std::runtime_error("Couldn't open the music file.");
    }
}

Do somebody have any ideas how to fix this?

The same issue?
The same error code when the music doesn't load?

Confirm the music file is valid and in the correct location. An absolute path test can help with this.

[na.mkv]

The function is not called anywhere. It breaks even before the execution line reaches int main().
It breaks somewhere between the compilation and run.

IIRC 0xC0000135 just means that you're missing some DLL.
If you double click the executable in explorer, it should tell you which DLL exactly is missing.

Most likely, you'll have to copy the SFML DLLs next to your executable.

[na.mkv]

Assume I copy all DLLs to the project directory. What else? How should I re-write cmake? How to make the snippet

void Actions::load_main_menu_music(Music * music) {
    if (!music->openFromFile("../Audio/Music/MainTheme.mp3")) {
        throw std::runtime_error("Couldn't open the music file.");
    }
}

not to cause the issue? Again, the error appears before even the program runs.

[eXpl0it3r]

The SFML CMake Template has some code snippet to copy the OpenAL DLL, which I assume might be missing in your case.

[na.mkv]

Copied and pasted the cmake. Have the problem:

I ran the executable, it says: "The code execution cannot proceed because libstdc++-6.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

The missing files:
libstdc++-6.dll
openal32.dll
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

Copied and pasted the cmake.

You can't just copy paste without understanding what it does... 

If you don't want to fetch and build SFML automatically, you don't need everything, check the statements at the bottom.
If you do want to use the full template, read the readme that explain some more things and make sure git is installed.

[na.mkv]

I have carefully followed the instructions and in the end I got this:

To be honest, I am new in Windows; 70% of my time I was working in Linux or MacOS. It is just now I decided completely switch to Windows.

could not find git

As mentioned, you'll need to install git, and then make sure it's in PATH (might require a terminal restart).

[na.mkv]

All began working ok, except, again, for this code snippet:

void Actions::load_main_menu_music(Music * music) {
    if (!music->openFromFile("../Audio/Music/MainTheme.mp3")) {
        throw std::runtime_error("Couldn't open the music file.");
    }
}


I get the error when I execute this command in the terminal: cmake -S . -B build ; cmake --build build --config Release

The sfml environment is definitely not configured correctly. Add the sfml directory and mingw directory to the system path env variable. Set the correct library directory at compile time. There would be no problem.
error LNK2019 mean  the library cannot be found during the link process

LNK errors indicate that MSVC is being used, so MinGW is irrelevant at this point
