Error when using LoadFromFile
« on: March 19, 2011, 11:10:21 pm »
Hi all,

I'm just new to SFML and managed to get a lot of tutorials to run for me so far. However, now I wanted to draw some Text, and whenever I try the following

Code: [Select]

// Load from a font file on disk
if (!MyFont.LoadFromFile("arial.ttf"))
{
   return EXIT_FAILURE;
}


i get this error:

Code: [Select]

1>testSFML.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "private: static unsigned int * sf::Font::ourDefaultCharset" (?ourDefaultCharset@Font@sf@@0PAIA)


I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on x64 Win 7.

Can anyone hint me on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks and regards
Chris

You forgot to define SFML_DYNAMIC.

Arg, thanks a lot. I accidently switched from debug to release without noticing and was 100% sure I had defined it :)
