Unfortunately I am not a template guy, can you figure out what's wrong?

Apparently my code doesn't compile in visual studio. I can't test nor fix it from my linux, so I will boot my windows later to look at this (and then I can immediately fix those conversion warnings as well).

For now you can change line 412 in TextBox.hpp from
std::vector<sf::String> m_lines = {""};to
std::vector<sf::String> m_lines;
Obviously that may break the TextBox, but at least then you can continue with the rest of tgui.
Or you can wait a few hours until I have fixed this issue and then get the latest version again (I'll post here when it's done).

Sounds great, thank you.

I saw ther was an update for VS last month. After installation the error vanishes. However:

2>Layout.cpp(145): error C2797: 'tgui::Layout1d::m_bindings': list initialization inside member initializer list or non-static data member initializer is not implemented


I guess you are to cutting edge for MSVC2013 Update 3

Ok, I guess I will have to fix more than one line then.

I do want to keep VS2013 supported, if possible even without any updates, so this definitely has to be fixed asap.

Its just stupid that both gcc and clang already have excellent c++14 support while visual studio doesn't even support c++11 fully.

I'm seriously pissed right now. Not only did my VS2013 compiler simply errored during compilation of a simple list initializer (which they claim to support), but even with update 3 I am going to have to remove functionality from tgui in order to support VS2013.

I'll try to get something working in the next few hours, but right now I'm not really happy with the only solution that I find.

Pfff, I solved the problems. The latest version should compile fine.

But I'm walking on very thin ice with the VS support. I'm actually relying on that the compiler in VS being broken in such a way that my code still works.

Quickly tested it, library compiles fine. Compiling fullexample.cpp with the library throws unresolved externals at me however. I did link against tgui-d.lib correctly. On a sidenote, tgui-d.lib is much smaller (110kb) than the previous version (372kb), this stems from your code revisions, right? Maybe the error is on my side, it is late.

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

While fixing the compilation on VS2013 I made a few changes with the placing of TGUI_API (which is a windows specific define that every library has to implement in order to use dlls) so I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

I'll test the example code myself soon. I don't like these windows specific issues because I can't really test them quickly. If it were reproducible on a linux it would be solved in a matter of minutes.

I don't have any problems with building the example code.
But my tgui-d.lib is 412kb so something seems wrong with your file.

I suggest you clear the cmake cache and try to rebuild the library, maybe that solves it.

Just did that. (deleted the whole folder, downloaded anew, reran cmake, compiled tgui). Still, it is 110KB. What could I be doing wrong? I also tried the release configuration. Same result.

Could you send me the whole tgui folder that you currently have, with the build libraries included. And also the sfml folder (including headers and libraries) which you use to build tgui. You could also include the project that you have to build the example code. (e.g. on dropbox)

I'm not sure if I'm going to find anything since I wouldn't even know where to start, but I can at least try to look for some difference.

Ouch, the problem is probably on my end. I seem to have swapped some files and I apparently ended up testing v0.6 instead of v0.7-dev.

I was about to send you the version which I compiled earlier when I found out that it was 0.6.

So I will have to change my include directories and stuff again and run another test. I will most likely encounter the same problem as you then.

Well, at least I have a dropbox-account now..  In fact I had it earlier but it went unused for a very long time and now I have the credentials again.

I don't believe what I'm seeing here.
Its on the very top of my todo list: find out where the hell SFML/Config.hpp is included.

Due to some reordering of includes, this file was simply included too late, making OS detection impossible. Therefore the windows specific code for dlls was not defined.

All should be fixed now.
