sf::Text error VC2005

[slotdev]

Hi

Just starting to use the font stuff, and with this code running under a Debug version in VC2005

Code: [Select]


        sf::Font myFont;
if (myFont.LoadFromFile("arial.ttf"))
{
sf::Text startText("HELLO",myFont,50);
startText.SetColor(sf::Color(255,255,255));
window1.Draw(startText);
}


I get "Windows has triggered a breakpoint in myapp.exe. This may be due to a corruption of the heap, or any of the DLLs it has loaded".

It breaks in "new.cpp", at the line "while ((p = malloc(size)) == 0)"

Code: [Select]


void *__CRTDECL operator new(size_t size) _THROW1(_STD bad_alloc)
        {       // try to allocate size bytes
        void *p;
        while ((p = malloc(size)) == 0)
                if (_callnewh(size) == 0)
                {       // report no memory
                static const std::bad_alloc nomem;
                _RAISE(nomem);
                }

        return (p);
        }

Ideas?[/code]

I'm having the same problem in VC++ 2010!

Does this solve your problem?

Hmm my SFML version is very recent (like 4 days ago ish), and I got the snapshot, no patches have been added to it.

I will try with a static version - do I need to define SFML_STATIC in my pre-processor options? SFML 1.6 had an option to generate the sfml-xx-s dlls, I think....

Thanks

Have you read the issue? Nothing was fixed in the code, you just need to turn off the STATIC_STD_LIBS CMake option.

Ah sorry, I did read it but I clearly missed that bit
