Can't compile when trying to render text
« on: May 29, 2024, 10:34:51 pm »
I am using this: https://github.com/SFML/cmake-sfml-project template to make my SFML project. It works fine until i try anything related to fonts and text.
When I just add the following line to my project:
sf::Font defaultFont;
I get this output:
[main] Building folder: SFMLGame all

I am on windows 10 and using mingw in VSCode. I have tried to solve it, but have not found a solution that works.

That's a known issue when using UCRT-based MinGW versions, as the pre-compiled freetype library were compiled with MSVCRT. You can either switch to a MSVCRT-based MinGW version or build SFML's dependencies with your own compiler.

Thank you! I got it working with the MSVCRT-based MinGW version :D
