Title: I've followed every single step for installing - still getting error!
Post by: jasoncuprum on January 25, 2018, 08:57:22 pm
I am a highschool student, interested in competitive programming, and after a few years of comp prorgamming experience I wanted to continue to learning more in general about C++. Anyway, I've been trying the last hour to find the error but I haven't managed to see what I've done wrong; I've followed the instructions perfectly. Here's what I've done, and the error message I am getting when trying to compile the given code in the tutorial section.

It looks like it's unable to load the prompted functions, but I have no idea what is causing this. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance  :D

I don't use code::blocks, as I find using VS and vcpkg to manage packages much easier, but each to their own of course!

Presuming you're using minGW, did you make sure to download binaries EXACTLY matching your minGW version?

What target have you added these libraries to and what target are you building?

Oh I actually hate myself for not thinking of this earlier... I had installed the minGW a while ago and totally forgot about the correct version, but I now I tried installing the other one and it works fine. How did i not find it earlier lol  :P
