Title: SFML 2.0 loadfromfile not working
Post by: quietam on July 26, 2013, 12:57:22 am

Hi! Kind of new to SFML and a bit new to c++ as well.
Basic info: Running linux mint 15 using Eclipse kepler

I got SFML working after a bit of a hassle(apt-get installed 1.6 instead).

Did the first tutorials everything working fine until I got to the audio tutorial.

sf::SoundBuffer buffer;
    if (!buffer.loadFromFile("sound.wav"))
        return -1;

While writing the code i get an error message "Method 'loadFromFile' could not be resolved"
The error message only marks loadFromFile as the problem not the file itself.(Have also tried with a few other sound formats)

loadFromFile has worked perfectly fine up to now loading images etc so i don't understand why it wont work now.
I have included Audio.hpp and tried including SoundBuffer.hpp as well.

I also get the same error message on other audio functions like music and play()

Where do you get that error?
You are aware that compiler and linker outputs are completely different from runtime console outputs? And that there's a difference between "building" and actually "running" the application?

How have you setup Eclipse? Does it link against SFML correctly? Are the libraries being compiled in the right oder?

Found the error!
When trying to compile the program it can't find -lsfml-audio.
So i must of linked it wrong somewhere but i have no idea where as i linked all the libraries in the exact same way and the others are working fine.

in usr/lib all the files are there what i can see.

This is how eclipse is set up for me. You can also see the error messages and how i include the header files there.
