General / Compiling SFML 1.6 with Code::Blocks 10.05

Oh I see, in the text. In the screenshot its shown as -lsfml-system. I assumed that was for linking statically, since that's what the text right before it was discussing, but I was probably mistaken.

General / Compiling SFML 1.6 with Code::Blocks 10.05
« on: May 03, 2011, 03:49:47 pm »
Hello, this is my first post here! I was having difficulty statically linking the binary MinGW release using Code::Blocks. I'm relatively new to both Code::Blocks and SFML, but I didn't see any explicit instructions on how to get this to work anywhere, so I figured I'd post what I had to do. I might be crazy, and there's probably an easier way of doing this.
I assume the reason this problem exists is the version of MinGW gcc Code::Blocks 10.05 ships with is different from the version SFML 1.6 was compiled with. So, in an attempt to recompile SFML with Code::Blocks 10.05, I tried following the instructions here (under "Compiling SFML" near the bottom), but ran into problems there too.
The specific problem I ran into was that the import library naming scheme changed in Code::Blocks at some point, and the SFML Code::Blocks CBP files expect the old naming scheme (specifically, for *.dll, SFML expects *.a, and Code::Blocks now creates *.dll.a). Based on this, this can be fixed editing the CBP files in SFML-x.y\build\codeblocks.
The specific changes I made that got things working are shown below...
After this, it compiles fine! I hope that helps someone.
Also, in the tutorial listed earlier (here), it says to link to the static library to add "-lsfml-system" to the linker options. I found I needed to add "-lsfml-system-s". Am I missing something?
