SFML installing on Visual Studio 2010 Professional

[ekeimaja]

I searched already, if there would be any topic about this subject...

All which i found, there was said "View - Property Manager". I have not that. Only "Properties Window" and "Property Pages".

I would be very gladful about your help, thank you very much already!

I'm a bit confused exactly what you are looking for, but if you are looking for detailed installation instructions for Visual Studio 2010, start right here.  It should get you going.


If I misunderstood your request, please clarify.

Here is a that I have found to be immensely helpful for setting up SFML 2.0 in VS2010. It should walk you through the entire process.

Ehrm they don't differ very much.
The settings were you have to change something are the same in Express and Pro.
If you see something that doesn't match, then let us know and we could provid you with more information.

Serapth, i mean how to install SFML 1.6 or 2.0 to Visual Studio 2010 Professional. All instructions that i have found were made with Express, where all menus were fully different. But i will test those instructions today...

Ah, Ic.  Those instructions were actually for Express, but as was said, they are pretty similar.  I have both installed right now, so if you get hung up on a specific thing missing, let me know.

Yesterday evening i tried to follow your instructions, but pictures did not match in my editor. For example I have not "Property Manager" in my View menu. Only Properties Window and Property Pages.

To View property manager in VCExpress, you can choose Tools -> Setting -> Expert settings. After that, you will see View -> Property Manager option.

I still have NOT Express...I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional

I'm not sure what you were following that stated you have to search in the view menu...
The official tutorial only says "In the project's properties" which obviously implies Project->Project Properties. As you can see in the image blow:


To get the project menu entry to show, you have to open a project and you need to select the project in the Property Manager.

Finding yourself around menu entries etc is very basic stuff on how to operate with your computer and should be easy for a developer...

Now I reinstalled SFML-2.0 to C:\SFML and linked to VS as in tutorial was made. But now...gives this error. Tried both with release and debug.

error LNK1104: cannot open file 'sfml-graphics-d.lib sfml-window-d.lib sfml-system-d.lib kernel32.lib'

Could someone create very very easy instructions and ready Solution. That would help very much. Before I have used Allegro library, and that worked perfectly just following instructions.

cannot open file 'sfml-graphics-d.lib sfml-window-d.lib sfml-system-d.lib kernel32.lib'

The linker thinks it's a single file, you must have formatted it badly in the "Additional dependencies" text box.

[ekeimaja]

I wrote it same as in tutorial, only space, not commas or dots.

Well you need to seperate them with a semicolon.
@Laurent: why are there only spaces?

@Laurent: why are there only spaces?

Because that how it works for me. I'm using VS 2008 but I don't think they changed that in VS 2010.
