Title: undefined refernece to 'glClearColor@16'
Post by: apollo11bb on March 27, 2020, 08:13:36 am

so heres the deal- I just actually downloaded SFML. And as usual something goes wrong- I ran the test and straight into the "undefined reference" devil. Got this message:"undefined reference to 'glClearColor@16'".

Im using codeblocks.

I would really appreciate the help!

thx in advance!

You need to link OpenGL as described in the tutorial. ;)

A quick search should've given you similar answers as it's a rather common problem that people run into.

If you need further help, you do have to provide more information. "Doesn't work" is not a problem description. ;)

ok, I found a youtube video on the sfml setup. and it didn't work. I got the same "undefined reference to..." message. Then I figured, Ill try some other way. So I found another video on sfml setup... still the same message. I figured maybe I should try my own way (I followed the SFML Tutorial from SFML.com) still the same- "undefined reference to 'glClear@4'" and "undefined reference to 'glClearColor@16'".  :-\

I honestly have no idea where Im going wrong. ive started working with GLUT, but to be fully honest, I really want to work with SFML.
