General / Re: Statically Link SFML Libraries

« on: March 02, 2023, 10:37:52 am »

Where can i find all those other dependencies, I found this:

https://github.com/SFML/SFML/tree/master/extlibs

but I cant find them all or i cant find the static ones here. I downloaded the current main static libraries somewhere online and it didn't have all this other stuff.

Thanks for the help 

(also sorry about posting in the wrong place)

General / Statically Link SFML Libraries

« on: March 02, 2023, 02:24:32 am »

Hi,

PROBLEM:

I am trying to statically link my project so I can send it to my friend (dynamically linking works fine but I wont want to have to install sfml on their computer) but I am getting a symbol not defined linker error.

WHAT I HAVE DONE:

I created a folder called lib_sfml_static where i put 4 static libraries such as libsfml-system-s.a inside. I am using the following flags to indicate i want to do static linking:

-D SFML_STATIC -Llib_sfml_static -lsfml-system-s -lsfml-window-s -lsfml-audio-s -lsfml-graphics-s

I thought that the symbol not defined error means that I'm missing header files so I also tried copying the header files to another folder and adding another include directive -Isfml_static_headers but this seemed to not work, and I read online that I shouldn't actually have to specify headers with static libraries.

GITHUB

Here is the github link of the project, make snake-stat is the command that I run to make statically versus dynamically.
