Can't compile example program with VC2010!

[Aerosol]

Hey all. I can't build the "compile your first SFML program" code in VC2010. First time I tried to build, I got this error:

I put the lib files exactly where the tutorial told me to, and the SFML folder exactly where it told me to as well. Help please? Thanks.

You should rather disable precompiled headers (unless you really need them, of course).

[Aerosol]

I set the properties of "stadfx.cpp" and "SFML-1.cpp" (this is my source file) to not use precompiled headers. I'm getting this build error:

Do you really think that we'll be able to help you without seeing the lines 15 and 16 of sfml_1.cpp?

[panithadrum]

You add #include "stdafx." or #include "stdafx.H"?

Anyway, looks like you have some missing ";" or "}" in your code!

[Aerosol]

Like I said, its the "compile your first SFML program" code. Here, I'll copy and paste it.

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    sf::Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        sf::Sleep(0.5f);
    }

    return 0;
}


[Laurent]

Can we have the actual code that you compile? The one above doesn't even have 15 lines. I mean, maybe you made a mistake while copying / manipulating the original one.

[Aerosol]

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    sf::Clock Clock;
    while (Clock.GetElapsedTime() < 5.f)
    {
        std::cout << Clock.GetElapsedTime() << std::endl;
        sf::Sleep(0.5f);
    }

    return 0;
}
return 0;
}

Copied directly from my VC2010 window.

EDIT: I saw the error. Thanks for the precompiled header tip.

EDIT: I saw the error. Thanks for the precompiled header tip.

The problem is the

Code: [Select]

return 0;
}outside of the main() function.

[Aerosol]

Yes I saw it. Thanks again.

[Nexus]

Oh sorry, I understood it like you found an error related to the precompiled header. But it's clear now.
