app freezes on window API use :\

[falconmick]

code blocks were glitching on initial post, ive coppied and pasted my post as a reply

[falconmick]

heres the issue:

Code: [Select]


#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

    // Start main loop
    bool Running = true;
    while (Running)
    {
        App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


when I use this code a cmd line comes up and nothing else happens, I go into the debug/release folder and I can't find an executable even though my compiler (MVS2010) is telling me that it build successfully after a clean build... if I delete

Code: [Select]


 sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

and

Code: [Select]


App.Display();


which gives:

Code: [Select]


#include <SFML/Window.hpp>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/// Entry point of application
///
/// \return Application exit code
///
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main()
{
    // Create the main window
    //sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Window");

    // Start main loop
    bool Running = true;
    while (Running)
    {
       // App.Display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}



it runs successfully (I was using breakpoints, when I had that code it didn't even enter main, in this version it enters the loop without issue)
ive followed all of the tutorials down to the dot EXCEPT i have added sfml-window.lib; to the linker input as I was getting linker issues

what can I do?

ATI card with SFML 1.6?

[falconmick]

really it isn't compatable with HALF the computers in this world ;( whyyyy

[falconmick]

found an apparent fix "atigktxx.dll", it made my PC blue screen -.- dont follow http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3438&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 if u aint feelin lucky punks

SFML 1.6 crashes when i try to init a window aswell.
It looks like i linked the libs correctly because the first program on the tutorial page compiled.

When I tried to compile the code featured on the window tutorial, it compiled.However, when i ran the program it just sat there at the console(unresponsive).

Is there anything i can do to fix this or should i just go back to SDL?

btw, im using codeblocks on window 7(32-bit)

Hate to dig this one up but I am running into the same problem. I've configured SFML 1.6, recompiled it, and even went as far as to compile and use SFML 2. I just cannot get a window to respond.

I'm using an nVidia card (560 Ti). Anyone have any ideas for why the window loads but hands and eventually stops responding? I am very eager to get into SFML but this is killing me. Literally spent an entire night on this.
