General / Re: SFML firt exemple static compilation

« on: December 31, 2014, 04:53:10 am »

Yep u right, its a wrap up but its more a help for Dev-Cpp guys since the tut provided led me to errors.
I followed the tut on code:blocks but at first i just put the 3 lib (graphic, window, system) and thought it was enough. then I added the missing lib (jpeg, freetype. etc...) but got still errors due to the fact that the tut was giving glew , instead of glew32 and also i was putting those extra lib before the sfml-xxx libs instead of after them. So before reaching the right config i got errors and was trying different combinations, that the purpose of my post , to provide the right config for the guys in the same situation.

Cheers

General / SFML firt exemple static compilation

« on: December 31, 2014, 04:33:30 am »

Hi
Just to bring my 5 penny to the pot...
I just installed SFML and was trying a static compilation (Using Dev-Cpp and 64 bits versions) of the exemple provided in the tut.

i first get into troubles with linkage errors like
D:\SFML-2.2-gcc481-64bit\lib\libsfml-window-s.a(Window.cpp.obj)   Window.cpp:(.text+0x16d): undefined reference to `sf::Clock::Clock()'
........................
or
D:\SFML-2.2-gcc481-64bit\lib\libsfml-graphics-s.a(RenderWindow.cpp.obj)   RenderWindow.cpp:
(.text+0x385): undefined reference to `glReadPixels'
...................................

After googling on the web ,
- i realized that the importance of the order of lib declaration
- Also i made a mistake using glew instead of glew32

After various trial and error , i finally ended with the right config that could help others
so in the section parameters / Linker section, i added
-lsfml-graphics-s
-lsfml-window-s
-lsfml-system-s
-ljpeg
-lglew32
-lfreetype
-lgdi32
-lopengl32
-lwinmm

in the parameters / C++:
-DSFML_STATIC

and of course, in directories/library dirtectories:
D:\SFML-2.2-gcc481-64bit\lib

and include/library dirtectories:
D:\SFML-2.2-gcc481-64bit\include


everything worked perfectly after that
Hope it ll help

Cheers

Nota: Dont know why Dev-cpp uses this kind of declaration , instead of just
sfml-graphics-s
sfml-window-s
sfml-system-s
jpeg
