Which Sources of SFML did you use? I currently run into problems when I try to compile the current sfml-master and link SFML statically. Maybe I should open another thread tomorrow

These are packages you have to install before you can use SFML. ie libjpeg via "sudo apt-get install libjpeg62". GLEW might be a bit trickier (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20256085/how-do-i-install-libglew-1-5-for-sfml-2-0)

Thank you, thats a nice explanation. I was already preparing a small tutorial on how to use sfml without an IDE and wanted to use TDM, but I think I have to reconsider now (and use mingw builds)

Yeah, I found some of your posts after I asked here
I personally really liked the idea of not having to think about libgcc and libstdc++, but I must say that I didn't think it through. You're absolutely right about the non-standard behaviour.

I saw that you recommended the "MinGW Builds" distributions and have a question about it (as I'm not very deep into different compilers yet ): Whats the difference to the "standard" MinGW suite from mingw.org? Its pretty confusing to read about different gcc Versions (mingw, tdm, mingw builds etc.) and still finding a "mingw" directory in every one of them.

A better way would be eXpl0it3rs Link to install it via apt-get. But I think its not uptodate (SFML 2.0 instead of 2.1)

I didn't mean an empty project but the VS "Empty Project" Template, which starts with a simple _tmain like above. I don't use VS myself but I thought _tmain may be required in their compiler, hence the code example

My "code" was just to show how to use sudo, it wasn't meant for you to use, sorry
But like eXpl0it3r said, maybe you should start learning Shell-Basics before you head into compiling / linking.

Whats the error you get? Have you changed the project properties already?

Is building a game a requirement too? If not, you should try something else with multithreaded architecture

The permission can be aquired via "sudo" (sudo cp -r ./lib/* /usr/share/lib/).
I'm not sure about the share folder as you don't need it to use sfml.

On http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.1/ you download the Linux GCC - 64 bits libs.

Inside you will find an "include" and a "lib" folder. The content of the include folder goes into /usr/local/include/ while the lib folders content goes to /usr/local/lib/. After that, gcc should be able to find the headers and libraries

Well, if you create an empty VS 2012 project you get the following:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
        return 0;
}

@eXpl0it3r
Would you elaborate on why you don't like TDM? What tweaks do you mean?

True, I didn't think of this. But theoretically, this could happen with chrome too

You could also download mingw from the official website and overrite Code::Blocks mingw folder. There are some differences between the compilers of each version.
