Graphics / Texture.loadFromFile("") error

« on: March 07, 2018, 11:44:27 am »

Hi there, i cant make a sprite sheet appear on my game screen. I am using codeblocks as my IDE and the way I am trying to achieve it is by doing this:

int main()
{
    gameWindow.create(sf::VideoMode(1000,800),"My Game",sf::Style::Titlebar | sf::Style::Close);
    sf::Texture pTexture;
    sf::Sprite playerImage;
    pTexture.loadFromFile("Player.png");//this is where i am getting the error
    playerImage.setTexture(pTexture);

    while(gameWindow.isOpen())
    {
        while(gameWindow.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if(event.type==sf::Event::Closed)gameWindow.close();
        }

        gameWindow.draw(playerImage);
        gameWindow.display();
    }
}

the error in the logs is this : "undefined reference to `_imp___ZN2sf7Texture12loadFromFileERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEERKNS_4RectIiEE'"

Any help is appreciated
