Hi Regen,

do you use SVN versions or the 1.3 ? Some threading stuffs in your app ? If you use visual, make you use the crt corresponding to your config (/MDd => debug, /MD else).

hi!

I use the 1.3 versions, and it all worked great for some time, then i must have made somthing with my settings or so.

with threading, do you mean sf::tread? in that case, no.

i use VS2008 (and have tried the code with VS2005 to), so how do i change/check the setting you talked about?

For runtime lib, see in your project properties (C/C++ => code generation), debug config must be /MDd (multithread debug DLL) and release /MD (multithread DLL).

Can you upload somewhere an archive with your project to see if we can reproduce the bug ? =)

I see that you don't use project properties to specify your library and include paths (additional lib and include paths are empty). Try to erase all paths related to SFML you have specified in visual studio global options (tools => options => project and solutions => vc++ directories), and fill, in your project settings, "C/C++ => General => other include directories" ([SFML_1.3_path]/include/), "Linker => general => other libraries directories" ([SFML_1.3_path]/lib/).

My point is ,maybe, you link against old version of SFML and use 1.3 DLL which could cause the bug.

Anyway, i tried your project, and i couldn't reproduce your problem.

PS : Not sure about settings name, I use VS in french. =p

I took away all settings in "tools -> options -> projects and solutions -> VC++ directories. All inc and lib have been taken away (even older inc/libs from other projects then SFML)

Not a thing changed :cry:  :cry:

I have been using other libraries such as delta3d and openscenegraph, when i did so I added som things in the path in windowssystem enviroment-variables..... can it have something to do with that? but if I only added?

thanks alot SirJulio for takin your time to test the thing! :D

edit: now I'm sick of this...resetting VS2008

edit again: I have now taken drastic messures and took another computer with a fresh copy of windows XP, installed VS2008, downloaded sfml 1.3.
I cheered when the code above worked and started to expand it, after about 15 i had some larger code to compile......then the error occured, so i took away everything i added the past 15 minutes, but the the error is STIL there! :evil: How is that even possible?!?!

Can you give us a sample code with this error ?

AMHA : The problem is between the keyboard and the chair  :wink:

The simple sample-code is on page one at the bottom of this thread.
and yup, no doubt the biggest problem with the code is between the keyboard and the chair :lol:

Ok, some things :

- Could you try to compile your code with MinGW or another C++ compiler to see if you can reproduce the problem ?

- Make sure you use VS2008 library (and not the VS2005).

- Could you compile a very simple windows in WinApi

Code: [Select]
#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK mainCallback(HWND mainWin, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (message)
    {
        case WM_DESTROY:
            PostQuitMessage(0);
            return 0;

        default:
            return DefWindowProc(mainWin, message, wParam, lParam);
    }
}

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE current, HINSTANCE previous, LPSTR comm, int mode)
{
    HWND mainWin;
    MSG message;
    WNDCLASS windowClass;

    windowClass.style = 0;
    windowClass.lpfnWndProc = mainCallback;
    windowClass.cbClsExtra = 0;
    windowClass.cbWndExtra = 0;
    windowClass.hInstance = NULL;
    windowClass.hIcon = NULL;
    windowClass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    windowClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(1 + COLOR_BTNFACE);
    windowClass.lpszMenuName =  NULL;
    windowClass.lpszClassName = "test";

    // On prévoit quand même le cas où ça échoue
    if(!RegisterClass(&windowClass)) return FALSE;

    mainWin = CreateWindow( "test", "SFML test", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
                            CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
                            NULL, NULL, current, NULL);

    if (!mainWin) return FALSE;

    ShowWindow(mainWin, mode);
    UpdateWindow(mainWin);

    while (GetMessage(&message, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
        TranslateMessage(&message);
        DispatchMessage(&message);
    }
    return message.wParam;
}


Finally, if nothing worked, maybe you can try that. =D

Tried the winApi prog, works verry well (exeptions of just boxes instead of text in the upper left corner)

And I checked once again so i used the 2008 libs, and.....I did.

Have tried minigw a little but hate those long commands to compile, so I guess i try with:
"The power of christ compels juh!" :wink:

the most annoying thing is that it works for a little while, then stops without me changing even one setting:(

Damn ! though one !

Forgot to ask but did you use static or dynamic libs ? Have you tried both ?

You said that debug config works but not the release. Try to deactivate all optimisations (C/C++ => optimisation) of release cfg to see if that changes something.

I maybe should tell you that now when i have my libs/includes in the VC-dir, when i refer to them both for the project additional and in the general extra includes/libs I still have a wierd problem... I still have to go to "controlpanel->system->EnviromentVariables", and there i have to add the searchpath to the sfml-dlls, if i dont do this...VS can't find them..'

but anyway, when i do that, I still get the other error, even if i have static/dynamic och both:S

When i took a new computer with a fresh copy of windows/VS2008 release works as good (read bad) as debug.
