Title: thor and SFML 2.5.0
Post by: GamDev on October 14, 2018, 01:54:04 am

Hi, I want to connect thor to sfml
but when compiling produces an error:

Quote

ld.exe||cannot find -lthor|

Why ?

Does the Thor library file exist?

I downloaded Precompiled binaries, including documentation and examples: "Windows, MinGW with g++"
Build log:

The linker complains that it can't find it, as such either the path provided is wrong or the file doesn't exist at the specified place. Triple check that your relative path is correct.

Also not related, but will cause issues later on, you need to link Thor before SFML, as Thor depends on SFML (https://dev.my-gate.net/2018/01/10/rule-of-thumb-linking-order/).
