SFML 1.6 + Visual Studio Pro 2010 - Compiles, doesn't run

[apaitch]

Hello,

So yes. I followed the tutorial from the main website. I set the include directories as required, and VS detects all the files and compiles properly. However, when I try to actually run it gives me an error (the .dll files are in the same folder) saying that the application can't start and suggesting I re-install it. Any ideas what I could do to fix it?

This is the debug configuration. Static linking gives a similar error.

Thanks!

You must recompile SFML to use it on Visual Studio 2010. There is a tutorial about this on the SFML 2 tutorials section on the site.

Don't look at this tutorial, it is for... SFML 2

There are billions of posts about this on the forum. Even video tutorials and precompiled libraries.

Let me get this straight:

OP downloaded libraries for VS 2008 and tried to use in a VS 2010 project. Is the reason this doesn't work because of mixing C runtimes, or binary incompatibility between the compilers, or both?

Or something else entirely?

You can't mix runtimes I believe.

Solution 1:
Recompile SFML for Visual Studio 2010. However when you recompile there is a naming problem of the files that are generated.

I have already compiled them correctly. Here is a link to the zip.

Solution 2:
Tell the Visual Studio 2010 project to use Visual Studio 2008 compiler.

Right click project -> Project Property --> Configuration Properties -> General -> Platform Toolset to v90.
