Help with installation?

[Damian227]

Being that the link version isn't working either... is this right for when it comes to dragging it's contents into my VC\lib?



The include works fine, everything does... apart from the libs. Both sfml-system.lib and sfml-system-d.lib aren't working for me. They're also in the Windows/system32 folder like some people have suggested... so despite the compiler being told where to look and having them in the VC AND Windows folders... it's STILL not finding them?

[Laurent]

You copied the .dll files, not the .lib ones...

[Damian227]

Then where are the lib files if they're not in the lib folder? I thought that myself, but after searching nearly every folder in the original SFML folder... I can't find any lib files? just .dll and .a?

This is the contents on the SFML Lib folder that I downloaded from this site;


I've downloaded the WinGW (Code :: Blocks) and also tried just the Dev package version... still not one single .lib file, just the same .a's and .dll?

Seriously... are you kidding?

You're using Visual C++, right? So why don't you download the archive for Visual C++? :cry:

...... Oh jebus, Code Blocks is another compiler isn't it?... I was following another guide which said to use the WinGW version... I hadn't clicked he might have been using another compiler cuz I hadn't heard of Code Blocks :shock: I'm really sorry about all this, it's all working now lol

[Damian227]

At least it was...


When I click the build I get this in the output;

1>------ Build started: Project: SFML 2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

When the standard tutorial program is run.. I get this in the output after the system fails;

The program '[3772] SFML 2.exe: Native' has exited with code -1072365566 (0xc0150002).

I am now using the right SDK and have followed everything perfectly. Any idea what this issue is?

[Laurent]

Sure. You must recompile SFML.

[Damian227]

Thats the thing... I've already converted the .sln to Visual C++ Express 2010 and compiled it. It said everything worked minus 2, but then it stated the wx thing wouldn't work in the tutorial. (Noter only 5 DLL's ever work, 13 fail)

I can now get the program to run in Release. It displays

1.08098e-006
0.499993
0.999991
1.4999
1.9999

The output reads

However in debug mode nothing works. I get the message

and here is the ouput for that one

I complied every type Debug, Debug DLL, Debug Static and same with the Release ones. Everything is linked and the directories are set (dragging the files into the VC just didn't seem to work properly, so opted to use the C:\SFML-1.6\lib and \include method instead). The correct DLL's are in with the executable also (sfml-system-d.dll in debug and sfml-system.dll in release) So I'm not sure why I'm still having problems?

[Laurent]

I'm not sure too, but you get the same error as when you were not using the recompiled SFML libraries, so make sure that you didn't do anything wrong when recompiling the Debug DLL libraries.

[Damian227]

When compiling the Debug DLL's only 2 compile, the rest fail. I'm guessing that has a big something to do with this. The Release DLL's 5 compile and the rest fail.

After asking about, alot of people say 1.6 is absolute hell for compiling on VC 2010 but that the 2.0 beta works a lot smoother, so I'll give that a try instead and let you know if I have any luck.

[Laurent]

Why don't they tell me?? If there are errors, I'd like to fix them.

[Damian227]

I'll tell them to drop you a message, one guy has offered to send me his compiled 1.6 which he had to make several edits and changes to, would that file be of any help to you, as I could forward it on?

[Laurent]

No, a compiled library is not relevant as I won't be able to see what has been modified in it. I'd like to get the error messages, and a patch if he already fixed them.

[Damian227]

Ok I'll ask him for you and let you know.

On a side note, with the program now working (sample program runs fine etc...) I'm attempting to run the graphics and keep getting this message. It''s probably something simple but I'm just not sure whats causing it mysef

You must link to sfml-graphics.
