General / Re: Help with Setting up SFML 2.6 with CodeBlocks 20.03

« on: June 26, 2023, 11:10:20 am »

Hi  eXpl0it3r and everyone else

I probably should have been clearer about what wasn't working. The test app compiles but when I try to run it I get the console and an error message reading:

The procedure entry point _Zst28__throw_bad_array_new_lengthvc could not be located in dynamic link library c:\projects\SFML\P1\P!\Debug\sfml-windows-2.dll

Googling that error message made me no wiser, it is apparently a very common error message, with just the path and dll name differring.

Where can I get the correct compiler for the current version of SFML ?

I know its a brand new version but surely people would think to put a link to the correct compiler. I would if it was my project.

I am completely unfamiliar with the idea of compiling SFML for myself. IS there a tutorial or any advice on getting this done.

Thank you and please forgive my highly nube questions.

Thank and regards
Frank

General / Help with Setting up SFML 2.6 with CodeBlocks 20.03

« on: June 25, 2023, 11:14:06 am »

Hi all,

Please excuse me if this post belongs in another forum, or if the question has been asked recently.

I have downloaded the  CodeBlocks 20.03 with the MingW compiler. Once installed it works fine for the usual "Hello World" and "Expensive Calculator" apps.

I've downloaded both the 32bit and 64bit version of SFML 2.6, tried to install them and do a simple SFML program as per https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/start-cb.php

No joy. I've tried re-installing Codeblocks and using the 32-bit version.

I have searched the MingW/bin folder and can not find the files "libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll" or "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll"
as recommended by the page.

IF it makes any difference I am using a Windows 10 laptop / notebook (an HP), and it is running the 64 bit version of Win10.

What am I getting wrong?

Any help and/or advice welcome.

Kind regards
Frank
