I'm trying to install SFML. I've been working over the tutorial for quite some time and can not figure out why my library is not being installed.

I went through and added the path of sfml lib and include to vs VC++ directories / libraries

I also added the sfml library to my projects linker input but it still returns

Cannot open include file: 'SFML/Window.hpp': No such file or directory

here is the code

Code: [Select]

#include "stdafx.h"
#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;
}

I'm new to VS. Is there something I am doing wrong? I've tried putting all the dll's in my projects directories and it still wont work.

This code doesn't include Window.hpp. What's inside stdafx.h?

Nothing, its just the default header file that's created with win32 console apps.

So you can't have this error with this code. Are you really sure that it says "Window.hpp" and not "System.hpp"?

Oh I had an include for the window as well just testing if it would work. It did not. But this code gives the same error for System.hpp.

Ok. There's something you did wrong, follow the tutorial again and make sure that you did exactly what's explained, with the help of screenshots.
