Title: Using SFML on a Linux system with no root access
Post by: Digmaster on February 09, 2014, 09:51:59 pm

Hello,

I'm trying to use SFML on my school's linux system, which I have no root access (I believe that we use red hat with the AFS file system, if it's of any help). Presently I have all my added libraries files in ~/libs, and I use the command

g++ main.o -o sfml-app -L$HOME/libs/lib -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -W1,-rpath=$HOME/libs/lib (I also use -rpath-rink to no avail)

in an attempt to compile my program. However, my system doesn't even have libGLEW installed, so I popped that into my ~/libs folder aswell. Reguardless I get the error

warning: libGLEW.so.1.5, needed by /afs/<Home dir>/libs/lib/libsfml-graphics.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
(Note that I added the <Home Dir>, it used to say the correct directory.)

I have libGLEW.so.1.5 is the same directory as libsfml; however it's not finding it (A simple ls command confirms that it's there.

Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem?

Make sure that it is GLEW 1.5. If not, you can recompile SFML or recompile/install this version of GLEW.

Also make sure the linker is searching in your ~/libs/lib directory.
