Title: Undefined Reference Errors
Post by: Assimodeus on December 13, 2008, 03:19:31 pm

Hey guys,

i got a problem compiling one of the Window-Tutorials (the very first writing a simple Window without Event-Handling).

(http://teleportratten.te.funpic.de/SFML_eclipse_errors.JPG)

So i got 3 'undefined Reference' Errors:

I calling the constructor

II calling the member-function "Display()" of "Window App"

III calling the Destructor ~Window()


But..why?

My IDE is Eclipse 3.4.0 (CDT Plugin) using the MinGW/GCC Toolchain (ver. unknown, probably 4.1/4.2).

I'm grateful for every helpful hint.



PS:  SeFu was used & google is my friend.

Did you add the libraries to the linker settings?

(Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C++ Linker -> Libraries)

Remember to define SFML_DYNAMIC if you're not using the static libraries.

Could you show me your hint more detailed, please?

Just use the libraries that contain "-s" in their name until you get all your other errors figured out.

You mean -d ?

I got a subproblem relating to libraries.
If i assign specific libs to the project (in the way Avency described)
i get "No such File" errors".
And if i assign a lib directory, nothing changes.

The main problem still exists; anyway big thanks for your help so far!

No, he means -s. -d is for debug.

There is also a -s-d version for static debug.
