Hello!
I want to write code on SFML on my computer, but it is with arch linux. I installed SFML. So now what editor could I use cause VIM gives an error for a basic "Hello world" code.

C++

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow Window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Sample Application");
 
    while (Window.isOpened())
    {
        sf::Event Event;
        while (Window.pollEvent(Event))
        {
            switch (Event.type)
            {
            case sf::Event::Closed:
                Window.close();
                break;
            default:
                break;
            }
        }
 
        Window.clear(sf::Color(0, 255, 255));
        Window.display();
    }
 
    return 0;
}

ERROR:

VB

testsfml.cpp: In function 'int main()':
testsfml.cpp:7:27: error: 'class sf::RenderWindow' has no member named 'isOpened'
             while (Window.isOpened())
                           ^

Actually it is a simple application not Hello World

It's because, as clearly stated in the error message, RenderWindow does not have a isOpened member function. You might be interested in the isOpen member function though.

tnx. But now it gives this huge error:

And? Did you include the header files that contain the definitions for those functions?

Ok, the compiler has compiled your program. Now the linker is trying to find all those functions of the SMFL library and it looks like you didn't specify in the command line where it could find that library. See the tutorial and usage hints of SMFL to find out what you have to specify.

tnx you all guys :) Now everything is working correctly

Solution 1

The function's name that you want to call is not IsOpened but IsOpen.
