Problem with the RenderWindow Tutorial

[Rexona for men]

Hello guys, i have a problem with the Tutorial named above.

I copied the Code into my Visual C++. I also copied the dlls of System, Graphic and Window, both the normal and debug version into my project folder.
Program is compiling right, but I get an runtimerror, that some dlls cant be find or open. It's not just the SFML dlls, but also some dlls from system32 folder  :shock:

What is going on?

[Laurent]

some dlls cant be find or open

Which ones?

[Rexona for men]

From the SFML: System Graphic and Window (all I used).

From System32 folder: Ca. 20 different dlls, among others kernel.dll, opneGl.dll, user32.dll, crypt.dll, ...

[Laurent]

Do you really get a runtime error for all of them? Usually, Windows displays a message for only the first one that it tries to load.

[Rexona for men]

Hm, ok maybe runtime Error wasn't the right word.
In fact I used the debugger step by step function, and after crash, I got this huge list of unsuccesfully opened dlls.

[Laurent]

These things are not errors, it's just the debugger telling you that it couldn't load the debugging symbols for some DLLs -- which is normal because you didn't download them (you're not supposed to debug inside system libraries).

So, nothing's wrong actually.

[Rexona for men]

:shock:

However, the SFML dlls cant open, too, both the normal and debug version.
I'm sure I dowloaded them, because they're in my project folder.
(by the way I tried release version, too, but got some errors like this:
""public: virtual __thiscall sf::RenderWindow::~RenderWindow(void)" (??1RenderWindow@sf@@UAE@XZ)".)

What I have to do to run the Program succesfully?

[Laurent]

However, the SFML dlls cant open, too, both the normal and debug version.

Now, please give exact error messages instead of fuzzy descriptions

I'm sure I dowloaded them, because they're in my project folder

They must be in the same directory as the executable that uses them.

[Rexona for men]

Now, please give exact error messages instead of fuzzy descriptions Wink

Ill try, however, i'm from germany, and so the error messages are in german. I hope you can handle this

I got tis from release version:



main.obj : error LNK2001: Nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol ""public: virtual __thiscall sf::RenderWindow::~RenderWindow(void)" (??1RenderWindow@sf@@UAE@XZ)".

I got also this from step by step debugging:

Nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol

This is a link error, it says that the linker couldn't locate the function in your code and the libraries that you linked to your project. It has nothing to do with DLLs

To solve it, you must link to sfml-window and sfml-system (look at the tutorial).

I got also this from step by step debugging

How can you run your executable if it cannot even be compiled??

[Rexona for men]

To solve it, you must link to sfml-window and sfml-system (look at the tutorial).

Well, actually i've already linked to sfml-window and sfml-system :shock:

How can you run your executable if it cannot even be compiled??

Well, without step by step processing, I get the console and then an error message with the option to send my error information to microsoft.
But only in debug mode.
In release mode nothing is started.

Wth, I looked again at  additional dependencies and found nothing
 :shock:
I don't know, why they disappear, but I linked again, and now, both the debug and release mode open a console, but get the same error. (the microsoft message).
Ill post the messages from step by step debugging later, VS seems a bit buggy at the moment :shock:

E: Ah, I only linked the libs with the debug mode, thatswhile release mode couldn't compile.
Now in debug mode I get this error:
Die Anwendung konnte nicht richtig initialisiert werden (0xc0150002)
By the way I linked the debug mode with the debug libs.
Console is also open by the program.

This is the error message by step by step debugging:

"SFML Test Projekt.exe": "C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll" geladen, Cannot find or open the PDB file
"SFML Test Projekt.exe": "C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll" geladen, Cannot find or open the PDB file
"SFML Test Projekt.exe": "C:\Users\Gunnar\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SFML Test Projekt\SFML Test Projekt\sfml-graphics-d.dll" geladen, Cannot find or open the PDB file

[Laurent]

Die Anwendung konnte nicht richtig initialisiert werden

Please, next time provide a translation

This message is often triggered when a DLL is missing. Are you linking to the dynamic libraries of SFML? If so, did you copy the SFML DLLs in the same directory as the executable?

This is the error message by step by step debugging:

"SFML Test Projekt.exe": "C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll" geladen, Cannot find or open the PDB file
"SFML Test Projekt.exe": "C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll" geladen, Cannot find or open the PDB file

Stop bothering with this output, these messages are perfectly normal
You won't get anything relevant in this window.

[Rexona for men]

Please, next time provide a translation Wink

Ill try

I did, and I started a new project with the same settings, but got the the same error :shock: .

Stop bothering with this output, these messages are perfectly normal Wink
You won't get anything relevant in this window.

So this: http://www.image-uploader.de/bild.php/8033,debugwindowQKQUH.jpg
is normal for debug mode?

And this for release mode?:
http://www.image-uploader.de/bild.php/8034,release2SP5T.jpg
 :shock:

By the way, this message always appears while step by step debugging:
Through a buffer-overflow in text.exe have the intern program state got been damaged.

Absolutely not. I was only talking about the "cannot find PDB files" message in the Visual Studio output, which has nothing to do with these errors that you show.

By the way, this message always appears while step by step debugging:
Through a buffer-overflow in text.exe have the intern program state got been damaged.

Ok so here we are: you have a buffer overflow in your program. With the debugger you should see where it happens. If not, please post your code.

And by the way, this is totally different than your previous error... so I guess that your new project actually solved it.

[Rexona for men]

It seems to happen, when the App.Clear function is called.
By the way I just copied the code from the Tutorial section.

In the log I get:
First execption at 0x0100a800 in test,exe 0xC0000005: Access violation

It also says, that the heap is damaged.

Here my code if it's needed:

Code: [Select]

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

int main()
{
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");
   
    // Start game loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
App.Close();
        }

        // Clear the screen (fill it with black color)
App.Clear();

        // Display window contents on screen
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
