unresolved external symbol _sfWindow_Create

[FarTreX]

Howdy,

My problems started after I decided to join the Clang/LLVM master race.

First of all, my code:

Code: [Select]

#include <stdio.h>

#include <SFML\Window.h>

extern sfWindow* sfWindow_Create();

int main()
{
sfWindow* window;

sfVideoMode vmode =
{
.width = 1280,
.height = 720,
.bitsPerPixel = 32
};

sfContextSettings csettings =
{
.depthBits = 24,
.stencilBits = 8,   
.antialiasingLevel = 2,
.majorVersion = 3,
.minorVersion = 3
};

window = sfWindow_Create(&vmode, "TEST", sfClose, &csettings);
getchar();
return 0;
}

If you think I have no idea what I'm doing whatsoever, you're right

So this compiles OK with:

Code: [Select]

clang -I "[truncated]\CSFML-2.0-rc\include" -c -v ..\test.c -o ..\test.obj

But when I use the LINKer:

Code: [Select]

link /OUT:..\test.exe /NOLOGO /LIBPATH:"[truncated once more]\CSFML-2.0-rc\lib\msvc" /DEFAULTLIB:csfml-window /DEFAULTLIB:libcmt /DEFAULTLIB:csfml-main /DEFAULTLIB:csfml-system ..\test.obj /VERBOSE

I get:

Code: [Select]

test.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _sfWindow_Create referenced in function _main
..\test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Any ideas what exactly I might be doing wrong?

/DEFAULTLIB:csfml-main /DEFAULTLIB:csfml-system

That's not how you're supposed to link libraries. Just put them on the linker command line with no specific switch.

I tried it now and it appears to be doing the exact same thing. Failing as well.

Still am absolutely positive that it's my fault and that it is something minor and stupid, though.

EDIT: LINK is doing its job, because everything works with sfWindow_Create() commented out.

[Laurent]

extern sfWindow* sfWindow_Create();

Why do you declare the function? It's declared in the CSFML headers.

But it fails with any other CSFML function, right?

[FarTreX]

extern sfWindow* sfWindow_Create();

If I don't, it gives me warnings. Doesn't work as well with that line deleted.

Yup. Seems to fail only with functions. Could it be the compiler or me compiling it wrong?

[Laurent]

If I don't, it gives me warnings.

Which ones?
By the way, your own declaration is wrong, the parameters are missing.

[FarTreX]

If I don't, it gives me warnings.

Which ones?

This:

Code: [Select]

implicit declaration of function 'sfWindow_Create' is invalid in C99
(Don't think I should care about this one)

and this:

Code: [Select]

incompatible integer to pointer conversion assigning to 'sfWindow *' (aka 'struct sfWindow *') from 'int'


By the way, your own declaration is wrong, the parameters are missing.

But when I add the parameters, it says that I'm passing them.

[Laurent]

Which version of CSFML are you using?

[FarTreX]

Which version of CSFML are you using?

2.0-rc, the 'official' one (don't know if it's the correct term).

The latest one on GitHub doesn't compile (some days... ).

EDIT: It's just the graphics lib that doesn't compile, gives one error:

Code: [Select]

unresolved external symbol "public: static struct sf::Shader::CurrentTextureType sf::Shader::CurrentTexture"
(?CurrentTexture@Shader@sf@@2UCurrentTextureType@12@A)
referenced in function _sfShader_setCurrentTextureParameter


[Laurent]

2.0-rc

Names have changed, all functions are lowerCamelCase now. So for example it's sfWindow_create.

It's just the graphics lib that doesn't compile, gives one error

You mean, with the latest sources?

Wow, just wow. It works. Thank you very much!

You mean, with the latest sources?

Yes.

[Groogy]

How did you get it to work? Because I get undefined reference to sfWindow_create even though I am linking against the library?
(Though I am sitting on Linux using GCC)
