This is my code for drawing a circle with a texture loaded from file .

#include<SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include<SFML/Window.hpp>

int main()
{
        sf::ContextSettings settings ;
        settings.antialiasingLevel = 8 ;
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800,600) , "Shapes"  , sf::Style::Default , settings) ;
        sf::CircleShape circle ;
        circle.setRadius(80) ;
        circle.setPointCount(200) ;
        sf::Texture texture ;
        texture.loadFromFile("/home/deepukps/Downloads/texture.jpg") ;
        circle.setTexture(&texture) ;
       
        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event ;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close() ;
                }
                window.clear() ;
                window.draw(circle) ;
                window.display() ;
        }
       
        return 0 ;
}
 

And this is how I linked the linked the libraries after compiling my code -
g++ shape.o -o sfml-app -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system

This is the error message I get - Failed to load image "/home/deepukps/Downloads/texture.jpg". Reason: Unable to open file
What exactly am I doing wrong?
