Need help using spine-sfml with spine-cpp and cmake

AAshura · 9 янв 2019

Hello there.

I am currently evaluating spine to be a core part of one of my projects and having a little trouble getting it to work properly.
I am using SFML 2.4.2 (intentional. I will upgrade to 2.5 later on.)

Here is the error:

Here is my folder structure: (In attachments)

add_executable(
        DemoRPG
        main.cpp
)
target_link_libraries(DemoRPG spine-cpp spine-sfml ${OPENGL_LIBRARIES})

I can also provide a MVP if it helps.

The linker errors mean that you aren't actually linking the SFML library with your executable. I can't see anything immediately wrong with your CMakeList.txt file, but I assume this somehow fails:

find_package(SFML 2 REQUIRED audio graphics window system)

Thank you for your reply.

When I directly link the sfml files like this:

target_link_libraries(DemoRPG spine-cpp ${SFML_LIBRARIES} ${SFML_DEPENDENCIES} ${OPENGL_LIBRARIES})

Then I get this:

[ 96%] Built target spine-cpp

Maybe this helps.

I would suggest to base your CMake build on our SFML example project build. CMake is a beast, and it's hard to debug a build without having everything locally to play around with (for which I'm afraid I currently don't have the time). spine-runtimes/CMakeLists.txt at 3.7

Alternatively, you can just take the .cpp and .h files from the spine-cpp and spine-sfml/cpp runtime and plunge them into your project without trying to have all of them build as separate modules. Our C++ code does not require any special build flags or modifications to the build options of your main project.

I finally got it to work...

add_executable(
        DemoRPG
        main.cpp
        ${SPINE_SFML_INCLUDES}
        ${SPINE_SFML_SOURCES}
        ${SPINE_CPP_INCLUDES}
        ${SPINE_CPP_SOURCES}
)

Adding everything to the executable.

The problem now is, rendering the assets.
I get this error when using the same assets from the example application: spineboy-pro.json and spineboy-pma.atlas

0 start: walk
0 event: walk, footstep: 0, 0.000000, (null) 1.000000 0.000000

Process finished with exit code 11

Looks like your app crashed. I also see you are uaing CLion. The best way to figure out what's going on is to the app in debug mode. The debugger will stop in the part of the code that's crashing. Please post the full stack trace, as well as your code for rendering.

AAshura · 15 янв 2019

It does look like, the texture variable in the sfml runtime is still null.

Mario · 15 янв 2019

This indicates that loading the texture atlas of your skeleton didn't succeed. Can you show me the code that loads the atlas, skeleton json/binary file, and instantiation of the spine::Skeleton?

AAshura · 15 янв 2019

If you need anything else, just tell me.

There you go:

Mario · 15 янв 2019

You'll need to pass an SFMLTextureLoader to the Atlas constructor. See our SFML example: spine-runtimes/main.cpp at 3.7

Wow. Thanks. It finally runs!
