4. SFML & Qt not working well together.

SFML & Qt not working well together.


  • Hello,

    long story short I have an sf::RenderWindow instance (public static variable of class GS) and depending on when I create it with sf::RenderWindow::create I get nothing or a segmentation fault.

    If my code is as follows:

    // ...
QApplication app(argc, argv);
// ...
std::cout << "foo" << std::endl;
GS::window.create(sf::VideoMode(GS::resWidth, GS::resHeight), "Some Window :D");
std::cout << "foo" << std::endl;
// ...

    then I only get one foo and the program is stalled indefinitely at that point.

    If my code is as follows:

    // ...
GS::window.create(sf::VideoMode(GS::resWidth, GS::resHeight), "Some Window :D");
// ...
QApplication app(argc, argv);
// ...

    then the window is created successfully (although there's nothing on it yet) and the program goes on. As the program progresses, valgrind spots a few problems:

    (Menu.cpp:27 is QApplication app(argc, argv); and Menu.cpp:36 is return app.exec();)

    However, my SFML project works fine if I launch it entirely before QApplication app(argc, argv); or if I launch it in a separate program where I'm not using Qt at all. If somebody has any idea why SFML and Qt seem to conflict with each other, please share.

    Thank you.
